I've just spoken to the organiser to give him my 100 time (courtesy and to confirm I was in) and the news is....
Of course I'm in, full fields in a 12hr these days - even a National - there aren't that many nutters. There is however [size=150]100+ entries[/size] so should be shed loads of people out and about including all the helpers. He said the best before since he's been organising it (15 years) was about 70 odd when they had the Nationals before.
As if you care I'm off at number 20 (5:20am start
) with a 60 mile handicap which is completely academic as I'll still be literally miles away.
Startsheets and details should be sent out in the next few days. With this in mind how is everyone fixed for a meet up on 6th August at the clubroom? Personally I'd be very grateful for a get together, might be useful if helpers could also make it if they are free - I'm thinking that we all need to have at least one, but ideally two, helper(s) each to keep track of their rider and their food and drink demands, is that right? Has everyone got there's sorted yet?
Do you know if you'll be free on the 6th yet Paul? I'd like to fix it with Joyce as soon as poss so it isn't too short notice for her.
