    Yes, sign on is only about 400m from the start/finish line. A couple of minutes walk. Loads on during the day for the younger ones.

    Due to predicted numbers for the A1/A2 race we will now have to introduce a handicap start for A1/A2/A3 race as opposed to separate races as indicated earlier. Apologies for any inconvenience.

    Really well marshaled race yesterday , I did the A4 , my race ended with 8km to go when my chain dropped whilst out of the saddle causing me to whack my knee off the bar ends .
    Well done to the young lad who got the win , I don't think anyone realists he went up the road .

    Not in A4 it wasn't. 2nd and 3rd in that race thought they had gotten 1st and second respectively, but there were vehicles between the winner and them, so no bunch sprint for the win.
