The mens races will sell out but still space for the women.

A scintillating performance by Marek Shafer to win by over 10 minutes from Martin O’Neill in a small field of five riders, compared with just three last year.
The result should have seen Paul Thatcher in contention but he sadly punctured in the first mile and did not finish. Marek can look forward to being presented with the trophy at the next club dinner.
Past winners: Sam Kimber, Cris Coxon and Jack Smith did not compete.
Course record of 51:46 by Steve Kane from 2022 remains.
Paul was a friend to everyone he met and generous to a fault. The life and soul of the party, he organised great socials and was a driving force across all areas of the club. He is sorely missed.
Paul Hulse’s funeral is taking place in Manchester on Saturday and his lads have shared a few details that will be relevant to those unable to attend in person but who still wish to pay their respects.
There is a JustGiving page on which you can make a donation to SelfHelp, a small mental health charity based in the NW of England:
