The Pier to Pier race has 740 entries so far with another 50 expected in the final few days and 100+ on the day. Looks like we'll be near 900 entries by the start. The record from last year was 763. All hands on deck! Those not running it and available on the day to help out, get in touch so you can be given a job. The race starts at 10am on Sunday May 18th.
Mile Time Trial
The track has been booked for the 21st May 7:15-8:15. I'll be around with a start list next week but you can e-mail me preferred start times and I'll fit them in if I can.
Cossy out of hospital
Cossy is out of hospital with his shiny new hips and is having fun being high on pain killers. We wish him a speedy recovery.
Party Organiser Needed
Any takers for the job of Stroller Do organiser yet? Dave Dixon has had enough after years of doing it. The next Stroller Do is due in September/August time so don't delay, let me or Dave know you're interested in taking over. He'll show you the ropes and help you out for the first one or 2 so you'll not be dropped in the deep end.
