Our first 2 Up TT is at 7pm on Tues 10th June and we need a couple of volunteers to assist with the event.

I'm up for this but wouldn't be able to do Friday 1st

Simon Woodward

I'll ride out to Aber, but I'll be slow so won't be riding to your pace. Hopefully I'll see you at your faffing stops

I'll be catching the train home as my long days in the saddle are a distant memory.

Hi Albert,
Have you tried local bike shops?
They're normally happy to give away cardboard boxes

Simon Woodward

I'd be interested in this, when were you thinking of?

Simon Woodward

Yes please Si

Hi Joel, no problem - With me leading, it certainly won't be a fast B ride

Hi Joel,

2) 100 mile rides don't count, they need to be 200km
Each ride needs to be done as a separate ride with a separate entry

Good luck
