ACC race Sat 31st March - marshalling

Postby Dombo » Mon Mar 26, 2012 7:56 am

Can anybody take my place please at the Prince Albert junction A25/Outwood Lane this Saturday? It's normally a popular spot so the marshalling duties are not unduly onerous.
Many thanks.

Thanks Simon. HQ is the village hall in Bletchingley to collect flags etc at around 1pm, then head down (East) to the junction by the Prince Albert pub. Race direction is anticlockwise so the cyclists come up Outwood Lane and turn left onto A25. Marshalling involves flagging down the traffic on the A25 so the bikes can come through. The cars are generally well behaved and the race also has motorbike outriders and support cars coming through first so you have plenty of warning.
There are usually quite a few other Agreeables there as it's a popular spot, and the proximity of the pub makes it a pleasant way to spend an afternoon, quaffing beer and crisps while cheering the riders.

In addition, I normally shuttle between there and the HQ and will be bringing cake 8)

I will be riding straight there from home as I'll be bringing (hopefully) 2 sponge cakes and 2 banana breads - anybody want to ride shotgun and make sure it gets there safely :lol:
