50 mile club championships

The CTT calendar is up on the website and open for entries.

Did not look like Shirley were doing a 50 mile TT this year but Stratford have something down for later in the season (23rd July?)

Will we be switching club champs to the Stratford race?

Best,

Handicap expected times

Firstly thanks Martin. Also have just done expected times for the season and should be a link to the spreadsheet coming up soon or is shown by hand below. Please let me know of any errors - as a general rule should be your best time on a course between 2014-2016 or earlier if not ridden in that time...
