    Inversely you might have hit the nail on the head there Martin. Maybe I need to put ON weight to gain momentum on the descent, cos I'm usually well placed at the top but then lose as few places on the descent???

    Mapper, hill reps up and down the big end should do the trick !!!!!

    Ady, I suppose a quick email to the Secretary would be in order!

    Have just emailed, see if I get a response. Would be good to show the reserve list though as many entrants do drop out. Early days yet but one needs to know if extra hill reps are required by at least June!!

    Well done Ady. All the more reason why we need to keep the thread at the top of the forum.
    If you are high up, then must be a good chance of getting in. Get doing those extra hill reps !!! you know it makes sense.
