Always wanted to build a bike/trike (of the recumbent variety) - sounds like a fun way to get started. Count me in!

hi I am trying to set up a kinetic sculpture race on Teesside


My interest in ksr is, I want to have a go, I want to test my brains and brawn against others. But I live in the UK so I need to start our own race if I am to get to have a go. The other races section of your form is the best place for grass roots events just getting started, because every one interested in ksr will cone through here at some point.

Here is a copy of the leaflet I have put out.
Kinetic Sculpture Racing
the first race of 2015 will start on Sunday the 28th of June at 10:30.
Competitors should assemble on Redcar beach near the Majuba road car park, from 10 am.
If you want to take part contact Paul Fellows via the forum at Kineticbaltimore .com
If you do not know what kinetic sculpture racing is, I would describe as.
First you make a sculptural master piece, that is also a brilliant human powered vehicle.
Then you race them across a range of different terrains for the fun of it.
See he community channel, magnificent obsessions, kinetic_sculpture_race http://www.communitychannel.org/video/T ... ture_race/
whether you do it for the challenge or to raise the profile of a body, join in and have fun.

Here in the UK we do not have the same terrain as in the US. As well as the sand mud and water, we have; canals, disused train lines, anchant drove ways, granite moors, peat moors, heather moors, bogs, marshes, forests, green belt and other. I would suggest that anyone setting up a ksr in another part of the UK should use what they have got.

For the Teesside race I am thinking, races on successive Sundays.
Redcar beach to south gare. South gare to Paddy’s hole though the mud. then back along the road stopping before the bridge near Warrenby.

For the river race I think join the river near the pipe bridge at Ingleby Barwick [a to z 127 f 2]. finishing at Stockton river side car park.

Eston Moor will provide a real heather moor challenge. Starting at the old shaft mine (ghost town) [a to z 106 c 4] get into the water of Dunsdale Beck and head towards the teeslink path [a-z 106 b 4] before turning and heading directly to Eston Nab [a-z 106 b 2] then back along the track to the start.
If anyone as changes or additions or can see any problems that I have overlooked let us know on.

Remember this race belongs to anyone who might take part in it, so if you can make it better please do.
do you think the shoe will float?
