Sorting out the race files for the first British Human Power Club meet of the 2026 season at Hillingdon Cycle Circuit on Saturday. Good to see a decent number of arm-powered entries, and people who haven't raced with us before.

Hopefully it'll stay dry enough that I don't end up riding blind and come off the track at a random tangent like I did last time...

Just finished sorting out the race files for the #BHPC event at #Bath #OddDown cycle circuit on Sunday. In which the weather threatens to be decent, and I will try really hard not to crash the Notso on the horrible bottom corner (and proceed around the hairpin at slightly above walking pace, no doubt).

In other news, still a couple more days before the close of registrations for the #WHPVA championships. Anyone over the age of 12 on anything human-powered can take part. Unfortunately, the camping pitches have now sold out, and late registrations aren't guaranteed a T-shirt (the order has now gone to the printers).

We currently have 129 registered riders, which makes this a bigger event than when the #BHPC last hosted it in 2018. I've cleaned the chain on the Red Baron, and I'm starting to look at weather forecasts...

PSA before I go away for the weekend:

Medium-rate registration for the 2024 Human Powered Vehicle World Championship, at Betteshanger Park in Kent, UK on 16-18 of August, closes on Monday (after which prices go up, and you won't get a T-shirt).

Juniors (12-16) are half-price, and camping is available on site. Any kind of rider (you don't have to be an athlete) on any kind of human-powered vehicle (as long as it has a brake and no dangerous sharp bits) can take part. Spectators are welcome, free of charge.

We currently have 112 riders registered, but I'd really like to see more Women and Juniors on the list.
