Re: SSECCRRL Race 16th May 2019
You don't need to tell the league organisers that you'll help out, because if you enter the league then they'll already expect you to as it's a condition of entry that you help at your own club's round. It's then up to the organising clubs to arrange things on the night.

Re: SSECCRRL Race 16th May 2019
Do you know if they are accepting entries as of yet? I can't see anything on the British cycling website (i know its early). I think entries to the league opened around late February last year. There are some details at http://www.sssccrrl.co.uk/enter/ and it mentions a link to the BC website, but ...

Re: New Beacon RCC Kit Order
When I tried the Bodhi kit on before the last order, I found it to be similar in sizing to the old Giordana kit - and other brands' non-club kit that I own. I'm usually a medium and I'm going for medium with Bodhi.
