The bikes come around a lot faster than football, hockey and rugby balls. Not allowed to leave a link to the pictures but if you Google 'orkneysports' (all one word)you will find them easy enough. Sixty-eight pictures up at the moment but will add some more. They are best viewed 'full size' from the button on the right. Any constructive comments welcome.

Posted by Allan on 28 May 2008 Me n me mate Keith are plannin to come up, might get more! When is the racin on? Is there plenty of practice? When's it best to arrive (Fri or Thu). What's the weather / midges like? Camping or Hotel? Do they hike up the food / beer prices? How many usually take part? Do we keep our SACU race no.? ..... Cheers Posted by Stevie Aitchison on 11 June 2008 The minnumum age limit for the beach race is eight and that would be a bike with no more than 65cc, at the other end it is unlimited as long as you can hold on your fine. Posted by Jimmy on 15 June 2008 Hi Stevie the beach race weekend is on the13/14 Sept. There is practice laps on Sat am before the racing starts but not on the Sun You can come up any time before the weekend. Why not come a bit earlier and see some of our beautiful Islands. The weather is a bit of potluck You can camp if you want or try and book a hotel or B&B, the food up here is first class, no they don't put the prices up and lots of pubs to choose from. All going well we will hope for around 80 adult riders +. Your race no. will be allocated to you when you put your entry form back to us. Posted by Jimmy on 15 June 2008 quads will there be a class in the beach race this year for quads?
