SPR Sep 2013 9:33pm, 27 Sep 2013 18,764 posts	Quote Pin SPR First time for me as club are entering it for the first time for a while. Do you end up TTing or is there always someone to race?
ndellar Sep 2013 9:40pm, 27 Sep 2013 2,759 posts	Quote Pin ndellar I know what you mean, but there are always people to focus on / catch up with / pick off. Pays to keep an eye on the other clubs - I killed myself overtaking a girl last year who I thought we were behind to find we were actually a lap ahead as I pulled in she went off on her second loop one lol It's also a seldom run course which makes it interesting. Not massively hilly or anything but it was one massive puddle last year

SPR Sep 2013 9:59pm, 27 Sep 2013 18,765 posts	Quote Pin SPR Thanks. Massive puddle makes sense as the video I saw of last year's event indicated it was flat but it still looked like people working hard in a heavy legged way.

rf_fozzy Sep 2013 11:43pm, 27 Sep 2013 5,531 posts	Quote Pin rf_fozzy That's a possibility then. If it'd been in the S, there'd be no way I'd bother. Will have a look and see if we can raise a team from the club since it's only Nottingham. Depends if it clashes with owt else I guess (except Snake Lane, as it always clashes with that...)
