      Hi Steve
      A bit of both, really. We did run a race last year and you might have missed that one, but it was also a typo for this years event
      It’s been fixed now.
      Hope to see you on the 15th.
      Cheers
      Ian

    Why is there not an Elite womens Class?
    As an older male, why do I have to compete against all the young ones?

      1.There should have been an Elite womens class I’m not too sure why that is missing but I’ll amend that.
      2. This has never presented itself as an issue before in previous races within in the club, however if you feel that there should be another class please submit a request to the club and we will look at the numbers and see if it is a viable option
