[quote="Marek"]Hey Glyn,
What do you mean 'once again'. Anyhow, my mistake, look forward to seeing what else you will have on offer for the summer months when the provisional calendar becomes more official.
Glyn, I seem to remember a couple of years ago Sigma Sport ran/sponsored a road race series as well. Do you know if that is still going and if so where it is advertised.
Cheers
Marek.....
First of all, the Surrey League do a great job promoting/organising/helping with lots of road races and, as Adam wisely points out, there would be little point putting on a lot of races during a period when there are a lot of non-SL races on, and many people are away on summer holidays. Apart from anything else, its important for Glyn to have a break, and he still has the significant burdens of organising the Jaunts and the Revolutions. Its very important to bear in mind that the Surrey League relies on clubs to organise races, so asking a question like 'what is going on with the Surrey League' is not helpful.
Second, those races which made up the Sigma-sponsored series all still exist (as far as I'm aware) - Wally Gimber/Dulwich Primavera, Bec CC RR, Les Ingman, London Dynamo Road Race, Cycle Kingdom Spring Classic, Toachim House Grand Prix, Barry Elcome midweek RR and the Divs. Some, if not all of these made up the series, and all are happening in 2009.
