A Day At The Races BHPC Race Events · March 2nd Manchester Velodrome, 12.00-13.00 and 14.00-17.00 · April 13th Eastway · April 27th Thruxton, near Andover · June 1st Hayes · June 15th Castle Combe · July 6th Darley Moor · July 27th Abbey Park, Leicester (with Spokesfest) · August 16th Lancaster · September 7th Herne Hill velodrome · September 27th Milton Keynes · October 19th AGM, Eastway Some words from gNick We have a bigger season than last year despite losing two tracks, Curborough is getting more popular with the car-types so less chance for us; Kimbolton is off again due to Parish Council jobsworths. They (the kart club) got a letter from the district council complaining that there had been an extra event over their allotted number which apparently had a “swarm” of people. The spanner obviously drove past and didn’t stop to notice the incredible noise levels generated by gears whirring! · Manchester – We had a few spills last year and it would be best to avoid this again. Some pointers to help avoid slipping on the track and keep the Velodrome staff happy:- Don’t use brand new tyres on the track – there will still be release agent on the surface and they will be less grippy, do a few miles to bed them in. Clean your tyres before going on the track to avoid any road debris. Clean your bike, especially the transmission, coz we don’t want oil on the track! There will be a one hour slot for the fettling of machines and getting used to the track. We will probably also do some kind of short sprints like flying 1 laps etc depending on the numbers. The afternoon slot will comprise of more normal races – I will endeavour to get race start sheets done in the interval so we can get going ASAP with as little fuss as possible. If we can, we will run two sets of races though this will depend on people jumping when they are told to – so be warned. · Thruxton - the exact timing of this is not yet sorted so watch this space (he says pointing at a page of his diary). Unfortunately this event got moved after the calendar was more or less permanent so there is a big gap between Thruxton and Hillingdon and rather than adding another extra event I have decided to resurrect… The Old Crown Challenge – That wonderful pub-ride with altitude. Runs from Durham to Hesket Newmarket, home of the Old Crown via Alston. Hilly with big scenery (Pennines, Lake District) industrial history/dereliction (Weardale, Nenthead) and a jolly nice pub at the end. Will take a weekend and requires low gears and GOOD BRAKES. Current opinion favours either May 10th /11 th or May 17th /18 th . Contact me if you’re interested. · Helpers – this means all of you. YOU WILL offer your services. YOU WILL rush up to ensure that there are plenty of timers available. YOU WILL help to clear up afterwards. Otherwise I will baffle you with cabbages and rhinoceroses and incessant quotations from “Now We Are Six” through the mouthpiece of Lord Snooty’s giant poisoned electric head. So there. 3 · Timing systems. At the request of a few members I have had another look at these and they are still ferociously expensive - £6k-£10k. I am looking at simpler ways of doing it wot doesn’t entail standing around in the rain as per Eastway but time and the appropriate experience is not on my side. Andrew Sidwell is investigating the data logging side of things but we are not too sure about the transpondery Stull. If anyone can contribute ideas, technical expertise, time, bus tickets autographed by the Pope, it would benefit the general happiness of the world. Failing that the helpful donation of part of your lottery winnings would mean we could go and buy one. Other People’s Race Events · August 29th-31st European Championships, Friedrichshafen, Germany. Still nothing concrete from HPV Deutschland, but I believe the event is still set to coincide with the big trade show wot they have there at that time of year. Given that Friedrichshafen is about as near to Switzerland one can get while still being in Germany, there may be scope for a Joint Effort in transporting people and machinery there – watch this space for details, · September 29th-October 4th International Human-Powered Speed Championships, Battle Mountain, Nevada, USA. The fastest bikes on the planet going for a new world record, and hopefully the $25000+ .deciMach prize for exceeding 82 mph. Only being eaten by a dangerous wild animal will prevent me from returning... Unrace Events (Mostly Stolen From Velovision) BHPC Unrace Events · Geoff Bird writes: Some of you will remember the very successful Oxfordshire Social Tour in 1999. We have just about recovered from the stress and trauma of organis- ing it and are planning a similar, less structured, event in 2003. It will be on the weekend of the 28th and 29th of June. Make a note in your new diary now! The event will most probably be based around an excellent cycling- friendly campsite just south of Chipping Norton. The schedule will be along the lines of a choice of two routes on Saturday of about 50 and 20 miles, meeting at a pub for lunch, followed by a 20 or so mile ride on Sunday morning. We will not be organising a formal gathering on the Saturday Night but there are a number of options nearby for hosting the almost inevitable ad hoc beanfeast. I will post further details, including contact details for the campsite and other local accomodation, in the next newsletter. In the meantime expressions of interest or enquiries are welcomed by me, Geoff Bird, at [email protected] or (01295) 721860.

    The Spindle FEBRUARY 2018 cycleclubsudbury.com We’ve had a real mixed bag of weather lately with all the extremes being covered. One day it’s almost Spring-like with the next the exact opposite. But it’s not stopping our Sunday Club riders (20+ some weeks) who are out in force, usually in two groups; fast and less fast! A brilliant effort by all those involved. An excellent showing also from some of our members (40) on last Sundays Reliability Ride including some first timers who I hope enjoyed themselves (despite the tough wind back) Organiser David Fenn has a few words of thanks to the small army of helpers that ensured the day went well... I just want to thank you all for your invaluable assistance on Sunday. Your help is what makes for a successful event promotion whether you were helping in the car park, signing on or in the Kitchen making cups of tea and coffee and not forgetting those ladies who kindly baked a cake or two. You all performed at the top of your game, are a credit to the club and made my life a lot easier on the day, thank you. I can confirm the donations for food and drinks amounted to £98.00 which will be donated to East Anglia Children’s Hospices along with a top up to £200.00 from the entry fees.

Page 2 Contents Foreword 3 Netherlands 5 Belgium 44 Germany 78 Austria 133 Luxembourg & Switzerland 148 Copyright © Rob Semmeling 2009-2016 / all rights reserved www.wegcircuits.nl Rennen! Races! Vitesse! Page 3 Foreword Motorsport essentially consists of three ingredients. First, you need a motor vehicle - which can be anything from a Formula 1 car to a lawn mower, or from a MotoGP motorcycle to a pocket bike. Second, you need a driver or rider to operate the vehicle, and finally, a place to go racing - a circuit. To most people this last ingredient is probably the least interesting. The number of books about famous racing drivers and cars, or great riders and their motorcycles, is far larger than the number of books about racing circuits. However, to me circuits are the most interesting aspect of motorsport, for two main reasons. First is their great diversity: in terms of shape, layout, length, difficulty, fame and many other factors, every circuit is different, and each has its own story to tell. Second, it is fascinating to see just how many circuits there are. Once you start looking, you can find them just about any- where. Finding lost circuits or discovering long-forgotten tracks is one of the most fun aspects of researching racing circuits. When looking for information about racing circuits online, I often found it frustrating that the available sources were not complete, and that they often lacked detail and accuracy. This is one of the reasons why I started my website www.wegcircuits.nl and why I made Rennen! Races! Vitesse! - a downloadable pdf-file that lists racing circuits of past and present in four European countries: the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Austria.

As I have to work for a living I only caught snatches of a couple, but that included a history of the Clarion cycling club. I was amused to hear that the Clarion members thought that the CTC was only for the rich and professional classes, ‘all accountants and solicitors’ and put it about that CTC stood for the Collar and Tie Club! Still on the subject of history, as more details emerge of the 2012 Olympics cycling events - the velodrome (or The Pringle to its friends) being the first finished building, the road racing events passing through Surrey - I surfed the ’net to find out more about the previous London Olympics, in 1948.

It argues, convincingly, that the problem with banks is that they operate with vastly insufficient levels of equity capital, relative to their assets. Targeting return on equity, without consideration of risk, allows bankers to pay themselves egregiously, while making their institutions and the economy hugely unstable. Why Growth Matters: How Economic Growth in India Reduced Poverty and the Lessons for Other Developing Countries, by Jagdish Bhagwati and Arvind Panagariya, PublicAffairs, RRP£19.99/$28.99 Economic growth benefits the poor: that is this book’s theme. It is impossible to eliminate mass destitution in countries with low average incomes. So growth is a necessary condition for poverty alleviation. Is it also a sufficient condition? Again, yes, provided market-led liberalisation is sufficiently broad. India’s experience over the past two decades demonstrates this conclusively. After the Music Stopped: The Financial Crisis, the Response, and the Work Ahead, by Alan Blinder, Penguin, RRP$29.95 The best account I have read of the US financial crisis.
