Coast to Coast 21st - 22nd May 2005 - Kieron Sykes Piss up / brewery are words normally associated with bad organisers/organisation. They are in this report thankfully never to be used. It was obvious from the outset that there had been a lot of planning involved and the organisation was top notch. Read More...

Fast Eddy - Hawkstone Park 2004 - By Kieron Sykes The choice to enter the Fast Eddy race on the Saturday had been made just for the opportunity to ride at the classic venue and see what riding that monstrous hill was actually like.
