This went out with the update - but in case you missed it: I won't put his email address on public forum but contact details are on the email update.


"All,

I am organising Marshalls for the Premier Calendar Ryedale Grand Prix, Peter Longbottom Memorial road race on Sunday 5th June. I am at the moment quite a few Marshalls short of the requirement for running the event so I am looking to see if anybody can help or indeed those who have generously offered to help already can gather any help from other’s on the day.

The Sunday event is the 3rd round of the Elite Men’s Premier Calendar Series currently led by Zak Dempster (Rapha Condor - Sharp) from Matt Cronshaw (Team Raleigh). The race itself starts at 1130 from Duncombe Park and will be contested over 181 km on the familiar road circuits based around Hovingham and finishing on the tough uphill drive in front of the Stately Home in Duncombe park. The Elite Men’s Championship on the Sunday starts at 1130 and is expected to finish at around 1530. Food bags will be provided to keep you going! Good weather has been booked too!

The field for the event is expected as always to includes great depth and quality including a field of all top home riders including and local riders too.

This is a critical event for those chasing the Premier Calendar Crown and those riders aspiring to be National Road Race Champion on the 26th June at Stamfordham, Northumberland. It’s going to be well worth watching and seeing it all happen. There will be television coverage of the event and I expect footage will be available on the web too.

An offering of appreciation for those who Marshal at the event is a full refund of entry fee for your ride in the Ryedale Rumble sportive event to be held in Sunday 7th August 2011 and this year the event is partnering with the "Help for Heroes" charity to raise funds for a very worthy cause.

If you would let me know if you can help and particularly if you can bring along additional help it would be greatly appreciated. Without you, these events would not be possible.

I look forward to hearing from you.

All the Best
