Club 10m TT mid week series
1st Thursday in May and running for approx. 8 weeks, numbers dependant is a club 10 on course T 107. This course starts 200 metres before the Cowpen Bewley Visitors Centre on the Seal Sands road, proceeds to the Seal Sands roundabout where a left turn is made. Proceed to power station roundabout then double back and complete the course in reverse finishing just before the railway bridge.
This is a new course for 2020,so we are discussing holding a trial run before the season gets fully under way to see where we need to marshal around the course etc.
