same story at freebird events, driffield was on my radar as well but it's £40 for the sprint. this may be an expensive sport but at a certain point races are taking the pee - there is a recession on and all that
Ris,the Tadcaster race used to be really good,well organised apart from the briefing being held at the start and if you we starting in the last wave would mean hanging around for a couple of hours.It did get so popular in 2004 that they were going to have a draw for competitors.
The Driffield one is ok but the marshals and marshalling could have been better,they did misdirect a couple of runners on the final lap,so it wold be wise to memorise the course.
But forty notes seem to be the going rate,not cheap but neithers carbon.
Extinction is the rule. Survival is the exception.
