SteveEvans 248 Posted February 20, 2012 As some of you know most all of the riders on the tour rent bikes in the UK. For this years tour we are a bike or two short right now, mainly because a couple of our regular helpers have sold equipment. Please send me a PM if you have equipment to rent - we are based in Cradley area so the closer to the Midlands, the better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveEvans 248 Posted February 21, 2012 Russell Green becomes the 5th rider named to the USA Future Squad. Russell has just completed the Xtreme Indoor Ice Race Series promoted by Anthony Barlow. He made a very solid debut last October from the difficult (for a first time tourist) #3 bib. Having experienced the Uk scene he wants to come back and give it his all to get a Premier League team place within a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Storming Norman 23 Posted February 29, 2012 I intend going to see you boys at Rye. Will they all be 7 v 7 matches? Steve, an earlier post indicated you might not be coming over with your boys, shame if not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Main Man 222 Posted February 29, 2012 Kings Lynn match will be 8 man sides as agreed with Dale Allitt as they want to use Lewis Rose so USA Future will be bringing in a rider for this fixture. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveEvans 248 Posted March 10, 2012 I intend going to see you boys at Rye. Will they all be 7 v 7 matches? Steve, an earlier post indicated you might not be coming over with your boys, shame if not? Â The tour will be run by Laurence Rogers, Andy Hale, Mark Cochrane, Sandie Feltham and others - all very experienced crew and any one of them can do a better job than me! Â April and May are very busy - aside from the tour there is the Under 21 World Cup Qualifier in Rivne Ukraine on April 21 and then the SWC qualifier at Slovenia on May 5th. I'd love to be there for the tour and the World Cups but that would be over one month which simply isn't practical. Â But, if this is all to keep growing, gotta delegate! Â By the way, we are looking for a mechanic or two who can do the USA Future events - PM me if possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
