By: Daniel MannCircular update (12th June)
Online entries for the Circular have now closed.
With just a few days left until the event on Sunday 15th June postal entries are already closed unless they are already in the postal system and we have just turned off online entries today at 6:30pm.
The only way to ride the Circular now is to turn up on the day and pay the �10 entry fee as long as there are brevet cards spare. We recommend that anyone desperately wanting to ride arrives early in the hope to guarantee themselves a brevet card.
A list of riders split into the starting groups is likely to be posted up over the next few days in advance so riders can see which start group they are in.
We look forward to seeing all the riders on Sunday. =)

By: Daniel MannCarlton Grand Tour needs a new home.
Martyn Leader has contacted us about finding his Carlton Grand Tour a new home. The bike is generally in good condition well equipped. However it is in need of a good clean, service and new rubber. He think's it is a 22" frame.
He's not looking to sell it but rather to pass it on to a new home where it will get used. It's probably more suited to a "mature" rider although anyone is welcome to register interest. He's suggested that maybe a donation to an agreeable cancer charity for the bike may be a more appropriate idea.
If you are interested then please contact us through our contact page and we can pass you on to Martyn as we don't want to openly post his contact details in the article.
