Hey I’m keen on joining you but do you have a different version of the route please as I don’t have a garmin computer device 😊
You can download the route as a GPX file from the Garmin site, which should work with any device (I think, anyway).

Re: Cats at TT wednesday 27th April?

Yep, there are some prize categories in open events (vets, etc.) but the smaller numbers don't really make that viable for regular club events. The season-long handicap competition gives everyone an equal chance at a trophy though!
