MTB east Comms

Quick note from your Chief Comms, Kevin.
MTB East Comm
Been another fantastic series of events, and it’s been my pleasure to waffle on before each race, ensuring everyone starts slightly late 🤔 although my role as Chief Comm is a serious one, I do try to keep my ramblings light hearted as possible whilst conveying the rules and safety guidance. It’s quite difficult sometimes not to come across like I’m having a moan about the occasional incident or sounding like I’m going on stuff you have all heard before. I would like to say thank you for your attentiveness and your willingness to listen to my voice week after week.
Competitor conduct has been excellent, with hardly any complaints about other competitors, and most abiding by the rules of racing and enjoying themselves. The kids' racing was particularly enjoyable for me, and although there were the odd tearful moments for them, they put a smile on everyone else’s face. If these youngsters are the future, there’s going to be some excellent banter on the start line and some great riders as a consequence.
My favourite moments from the series, apart from the Beer Fairy placing beer in and around my van, were;
Getting a new start flag and finding out on round 2 it was extendable.
Hearing all the children joining in the pre-race briefing and asking about the extendable flag.
The understanding from the competitors and their fan clubs when things get delayed.
Above all, the thing I’ve enjoyed the most is seeing everyone.

My race season didn’t go as planned, which happens sometimes, but things are looking better, so I might see some of you over the winter. If not, I’ll see you on the start line next year for more ramblings.
