This weekends race has jumped to 75 miles so that should be good
Where’s that from Tony?
If the forecast is right they might struggle to do much after this weekend, supposed to be turning wetter and colder from midweek next week until the end of the month at present.
Andy the Lib is at Bridgewater 75 Miles race mate birds have been basketed today for the race tomorrow

Should be a nice day tomorrow. Going to be a bit colder with a tail wind, NNE. I would expect them to only take around 1 and a quarter hours. My guess would be around 1680ypm.
Good luck Tony.
