I am organising the next two SPOCOs on 3rd, 10th July
The first event is on the flat 10 course and second on longer Coneysthorpe circuit (the one we did this week).
For the first event we will need quite a few bodies. The number of entrants means a couple at the start and a couple at the finish + 2 preferably 3 marshalls out on the course.
For the second event less pressure at start finish but we will still need at least 2 + extra bodies out on the course.
Please either PM or post offers of assistance on this thread.
Help needed 3rd 10th July (SPOCO)

There are traffic lights on the 10 course just south of the roundabout in Sutton.Don't know how long they are likely to be there but they've dug several big holes and the works extend the length of the houses on the right hand side. Looks like they are laying cables.
I could check it out again on Wednesday. If they are still there then an alternative would be to take the first left after the start and left again which comes out further along the same road south of Sutton to pick up the course. Don't know how much this will shorten the circuit but there is potential to extend the finish up towards Sheriff Hutton?

been out this morning and road works are still there in fact i don't think
any works been done since i last went past last friday, so i don't hold much hope of it been finished by thurs night.
alternates ? one already suggested would maybe knock off 2 miles ? not sure - or change of course - the ten clifton used to do starting from top of hill before farlington to stillington - turn left half way through village - left towards original 10 start - left to s/hutton - left at r/about to finish at point where whenby circuit finishes.
or maybe just do the whenby course its fairly flat apart from 2 climbs to finish.
open for discussion ????

Mark,
Just from an administrative point of view.... the police have been told the roads we'll be using and will expect us to be using those. Therefore the least deviation from the original route the fewer potential problems. Could start just S of roadworks and finish just N, but this gives other problems. Therefore maybe best to stick to original with minimum detour to avoid the works. At this stage I wouldn't be overly concerned about the exact distance.
