As we head into Sprint #2 this weekend, we have an urgent call
out for a willing volunteer to act as Race Director on the day.
The paperwork is all done, we can promise lots of assistance and will even
cover the race brief if it's not your thing! Please get in touch if
you are willing & able to help out.
As always with our more popular events, we require some extra hands to man
the drinks stop and to do some marshalling around transition. If
that's something
you can help with we would also love to hear from
you.
JUNIOR NEWS:
An enthusiastic
group of juniors were in action at the velodrome at the weekend in the
second of their Ride | Run events. The youngsters were set a new
reverse direction course that challenged their skills to the max!
