Rowheath Pavilion Playing Fields, Bournville, Birmingham. 13.30-16.00. Sign on at 13.00-13.25.

Please share and let us know if you have any questions or if you want to volunteer at the event with course building or signing riders in.

Think got the following volunteers :

Jessica Rhodes-Jones
Helen Jamieson
Laurence Cooley
Pete Marshall
Gary Mackintosh

Thanks to these. Let me know if changed or anyone else can assist. A few more would be great, especially 11-2 to help with course building and signing in and bike checks. Also to relieve Jess and Helen so they can race :D

Could maybe do with one or two more between 11.30 and 1.30 to build the course and assist at sign on or anyone with heavy duty tent pegs or stakes and / or mallet they could lend to help with barrier installation? Ground much harder than it was in December!

Please keep entering and sharing.

Pleased to announce Venture Bikes of Stirchley will be there from 1pm til 3 or 4 doing free bike checks and so if you've a bike you would like Ben to look at he will be there.

If anyone wants to bake a cake or has any freebies like bidons in the loft or Beacon frame stickers or mitts or anything that we can give away as prizes please let me know. Also where is the podium? Guessing with John an hour away??

Thanks to all the helpers. The Webbs, Pete, Laurence, Adrian, Gary, Jess, Ben and Helen and anyone I've forgotten. Really good fun. 19 riders so good turnout on the day and great the space worked well for it.

The course record is held by Helen Jamieson in a time of 1minute 10seconds!

Well done to Jess too, coaching a winning under tens Italian Pursuit Team has to go down as your biggest achievement in cycling this year! :D
