Battle of the Bing

19/11/2025

Hi folks, the SuperQuaich Series for 2026 has been announced today. The eagle-eyed will notice Battle of the Bing is not listed, we aren't running this season.

We had a change in circumstances with Ahren leaving Broxburn United Sports Club and joining Active Schools in October, on top of that my daughter is getting her first house in late December, I'll be on dad duty for the festive period fixing lights, putting up shelves, being a general dogsbody and cant do everything at once.

This is farewell not goodbye, you'll see us again. In the meantime enjoy the last 2 races of SCX, have a great time at Irvine Cyclocross and enter the SQ races, a lot of work went into the new format, it'll be excellent.

See you on the start line, I'll be at the back of the M50's 🙂

Hi folks, now the grass is settling on BotB 2025, we are going to ask a few questions (1 at a time) about the course for feedback from those who rode it. Not meant to be mega heavy just some pointers for course design next time.

Q1
The new feature downhill section ‘Mini Swiss Alps’, how did you like that compared to Hamburger Hill?

Hey Bingers, there’s plenty of SuperQuaich action to come, Tross Cross, Linlithgow Cross, Strathallan Castle.
4 rounds count towards you accumulative time standings. Some might even have decent weather (ok I made that bit up).

Also the finale of the SCX series at Chatelherault Park in Feb.

Get entering here, especially Tross Cross, it’s an amazing setting and a shiny new race.
