Battle on the BeachBattle on the Beach schwag - we have a winner!
Well, not surprisingly due to the fact that the prize was hours of pain on a Welsh beach in March rather than a pile of shiny things, entries were a bit down for this'n.
But still some hardy souls put their names in the hat, and the hardy soul whose name got picked out was Hanneke. Congrats to them and sorry to all the other masochists who missed out. More schwag soon!
-----------------------------------------------------
Beach racing is quite the thing right now. We had that VecchioJo try it in its native Netherlands back in December but now there's a UK option too: howies Battle on the Beach, taking place this March in Pembrey in South Wales.
If you haven't entered yet, then you're out of luck: it's already sold out, such is the appetite for this kind of thing right now. But you still might sneak in, because we've got one place to give away to one lucky reader. Just comment below and you're in the hat, we'll pick a winner at tiffin time on Monday, unless we forget, which, let's be frank, wouldn't be unheard of. Anyway. Enough commas.
Usual schwag grab rules apply. Along with the fact that you'll need to be available to go to Wales on March 16 to actually do the race, natch. Travel and accommodation and petrol and service station pasties aren't included. It's just your entry. Good luck!

Am I too late for this?
Ill have a go, so long as the sand is form enough for a fatty on a road bike with 19c tyres
Why not?
Cycling by the sea in March in South Wales? Can't wait.
Please
ok go on go on go on!!
If you insist...
Would you get a price for coming last?
Well it'll be something different to do this year!
Jesus. Riding off road is hard enough without racing in a pack across leg sapping featureless sand. I've ridden CX bikes and fat bikes on the beach and after throwing a few skids and running through a few puddles it very quickly gets a bit well, samey.
But good luck to them. As we say in the county hosting the 2 stages of this year's TDF: There's nowt as queer as folk.
Sounds like an excuse for a new bike!
Count me in!
Go on
Missed out on entering, be great to have a crack at this
Gissa go!
Entering for someone else, because there is no chance I can do thing
I am already in.... But would love for my brother to share this ride with me. Our mum is ill , nuff said.
Kooks Rule!
I would like a place, as part of my name is relevant to the event
Cheers

Go on then... (I'll probably regret this)
Go on then.
I'll bring my cross bike. And a Winston Churchill outfit. And a WW2 landing craft.*
*I have one of these 3 things.
Be rude not to have a go ! Pick meeeeee!
Yes please......
Can I bag this place for my race partner? He tried to enter but was too late as it was sold out in days and he is really gutted about it...
I'm guessing that it would help to have a suitable bike, too?

Don;t you mean Pembrey??
Don;t you mean Pembrey??
