Proposed teams for BMW. As always these could (probably will) be subject to change.
I have tried to give people who may not have had the opportunity to do this race before a chance and where people have been identified as a reserve I or Jenny (in case of ladies team) have either spoken to you or will be doing.
Team 1
L1 Nigel Armitage/James Clark
L2 Jim Cantwell/Richard Gibson
L3 Andy Hardaker/Martin Robson
L4 Darryl Stead/Steve Boom
L5 Leigh Hinchcliffe/Simon Coughlan
Team 2
L1 Steve Pattison/Dave Cooper
L2 Neil Wallace/Andy Byrom
L3 Graham Fisher/Steve Cowgill
L4 John Pop/Matt Seal
L5 Dave Butler/Mark Smith
The reserves for the mens teams are: -
Dave Magee (Dave not sure where you are with recovery from injury but we can fit you in accordingly should it be necessary - also aware of the need for you to have a later leg)
Dave Burdon
Jim Wheldon (as agreed)
John Woodhead (John should there be any difficulties with Team 2 I will need you to be on standby)
Dave Roberts (as discussed on Tuesday).
Team 3 Ladies - (Fantastic that we are able to field a ladies team this year - Many Thanks)
L1 Sharon Hague/Jenny Cooper
L2 Elaine Allen/Loretta Robson
L3 Lyn Arthur/Carol Parkinson
L4 Jessica Roberts/Joy Good
L5 Kath Leslie/Carol Limbert

I have entered the 3 teams last week, (still awaiting confirmation although not anticipating any problem). I guess reccies will start in earnest now. Lots of information regarding this race on Saltaire Striders site. I will get some more information out to people in a couple of weeks.
Saltaire only have plans to do reccies on the Friday prior to the race which they do mainly for the benefit of the overseas teams (yes this race attracts interest from Holland and Belgium). Anyone is welcome to attend that however I would recommend reccies are done and dusted sooner. Any queries let me know.
Thanks
