No problem Mark, if you feel they need another few trainers. Well are you best playing safe, and missing the first race.?

Personally. 25 miles toss and then go from 25 to 85 miles is to big of a jump for me for yb's. But thats something we discuss in our combine anyways because we do 3-4 trainings with the whole combine before the first race which the first training which he had yesterday was also 25 miles and the last training on sunday is gonna be 50 miles. First race about 70-80 miles. but if you think you got them in shape and you trust the birds you can give it a go. In my opinion its risky but not impossible. Also i left you a follow on tiktok with my account i got for our pigeons aswell
