A little bird tells me some may be targetting this as a handy counter in the local league …
Not in the FRA Calendar, nor hence the DP Calendar, so may need a ruling from the webmaster as to its legitimacy, but it looks like some of our northern brethren have picked up some handy points there in the past couple of years.
If you fancy a bit of road and a bit of Wharncliffe Woods, it's a 7.30pm start from Coronation Park in Oughtibridge. 3.25 miles and a bit of climb. More details here
The webmaster doesn't normally get involved in such matters, other than adjudicating on the distance from Hope, but in this case, as it was a counter in the local league last year then he thinks it should stay, if only for the sake of consistency. What we need now is for a superstar to turn up and have a flyer…
Next year I think we should be strict and use only FRA registered events, comments on this policy welcome, also comments on the 20 mile radius of Hope requirement. (Do remember, however, that this league was set up by Mike Nolan, I only administer it). John
