Nothing more than that at this stage, but keen an eye on their twitter account.

Yep, we're assisting on rd 2 with CC London playing big dog, and maybe one other club, not yet confirmed. I'm also trying to get them to move it to 27th as the lower circuit is booked out on 28th.

Once it's firmed up I'll put out a call for volunteers.

Pretty good summary that Stuart.

Although I did forget how hard it is. Average of 174bpm for the hour, and went out too hard at the start trying to hold onto the leaders. Nearly caught them on my 4th lap, but they must have put the hammer down again as they pulled away. Spent teh whole race on my own, but crossed the line 6th which given who was racing I was pretty pleased with!

Hopefully Hog Hill will still happen, although they need a 2nd comm.
