Hi Hope the reccies are going ok and you are steering clear of injuries.
I can see some great work been done on the reccies and its been good to see collaboration with other clubs. I think Dave Woodhead has a challenger to his record of reccying every leg in the form of Neil Wallace.
There are a few of you I haven't seen for a while so I trust all is well please let me know of any problems sooner rather than later.
As you can see we still have all our teams intact at the moment as we enter the nervous last few days, we even have a reserve for each of our teams although none for the mens vets team.
If you have nothing else organised I would like to request that you please consider putting yourself forward as a reserve, also please see Neil's request to try and put an unofficial water station on at Leg 3.

We are told there are a record 49 teams entered and rumour has it none from Leeds City.
It promises to be another great event.
As we get nearer I will provide some timings and further race information. I am expecting the vest numbers etc through this week which usually leads to a mad scramble to get them to everyone prior to race day.
Many thanks.
