Clifton 'Season Ender' circuit races

[GrahamMartin]

Hello all,

Finally managed to push the levers of British Cycling hard enough to get this one moving. Bit late, but hopefully we it'll still come off as a good day, even if numbers aren't what they could have been with more lead-in time. We didn't host any city-centre races this year, so think of it as a replacement!

Saturday 27th September - York Sport Cycling Circuit
1pm Masters 40+
2pm Women's handicap
2.45pm 4th Category only
3.45pm 2nd/3rd/4th race

All races £12 in advance, £14 on the day. I've tried to configure the races for maximum recovery time, so that Masters and Women get at least an hour between races. (Need to amend the details to say "£8 EOL for a 2nd race").

If you've done racing for the year and want an easy task, we need about 6 volunteers at any one time. Perhaps a couple of "sub-40's" could do sign-on 12 to 2pm and a couple of 'Masters' could take over from them after a shower and recovery drink?

Also, does anyone have a First Aid at Work certificate? It will keep costs down if someone can volunteer.

Full marks for organising this, Graham!

...and after seeing him today, looking slightly concerned and asking for volunteers, can I sound off my usual pre-event plea for people to help out! Helpers, HQ staff and marshals are what keep the racing scene ticking over - if you've done anything with a number on your back you've had the benefit of others taking on these roles so you can have your fun. Put something back in, please! Thankyou!

Hi folks, still really in need of a couple of extra bodies for this. The offer of a Masters race hasn't produced a field, so if you can go on the Saturday 9am ride, shower, eat and get to the circuit by 1.45 that would be great. Don't make me send Phil round with menaces! Offers of hot drinks from the Sports Centre for anyone who sticks their hand up.

Happy to help, see you on Saturday!

[GrahamMartin]

Thank you! Anyone else?

[PhilBixby]

C'mon folks - it's the last of the season, it's local, and Graham's stuck his neck out to organise it. For anyone who's not done any racing yet and doesn't feel quite ready then it would be a great opportunity to see how it all works and how (un)scary it all is. Much less so than me coming round with menaces, anyway...

Hi, I'll be happy to come along and help.
What time do you want me to be there?

Hi Graham

I've suggested the wife and daughter go swimming whilst I sit drinking coffee. So I'll be there let me know what time.
