It’s that time of year again with the club’s weekly Time Trial series starting on Thursday with first rider off at 6:45 pm.
As always we are looking for help to run theses events in the form of marshalls and helpers. If you can help once a week, once a month or once a year it would be much appreciated.
Please let Peter Leonard know if you are available.
