That's To Buy a New Bike and run it for a Year at a high Competitive level.

Throughout 2008 so Far I’ve paid for all my entries and all my required tyres to compete in the Melville Club and also a NEMCRC meeting.
Entry for one Melville Meeting is £180 and one set of tyres is £200 and that's for a set of dry tyres,if it rains a set of wets cost £200 as well. Certainly I’ve not picked a cheap sport to compete at but being a regular front runner contributes to the passion and dedication to keep striving for my goal of competing at British level or higher.
Every Little Helps some would say and it really does, Entries,Tyres even knee sliders all cost money so if you think you can maybe lend a little hand in any way please be in contact as it would be much appreciated. Any Questions just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.
