A couple of points from the kit side of things:

1) The winter socks will be arriving this week. I am trying to make sure we have them at the hamper race. If you expressed interest, could you please make sure that you show up if you're free. I'd like to shift as many as possible at the event. I will put a selz page up on the sock forum thread so people can pay easily and securely!

2) Our kit supplier, Velorevolution, have very generously donated some spot prizes for the raffle! We have winter hats, gilets and winter jackets with velorevolution branding for some lucky winners. Thanks to Aidan for the donations.

Do we know at what time is the senior race? The article says 11 to 1230 but is there more info?

There'll be a series of events over the 90 minutes. The youth riders will also be there for the first 30 minutes.

Andy Kenny has offered a 12 Membership to Andy Kenny Fitness.
I, myself, have a tin of Afternoon Tea, which has been tempting me.

Is it open to the Leisure riders as well or just the hard core racers?

Everyone is welcome Tony. It's a series of fun events.
