Re: wed 22nd May K36/4.5 CANCELLED

Rocked up to ride the Birmingham midland TT on the K 1 10 in Knowle to find yes you've guessed it Road works . It was right near the start of the course so it just got shortened to a 9.6 mile event. it is still a nice course though .

Is that the K34/10D or K34/25 Keith?
