I think getting it added to selfsupported uk would be good, both thenht550 and cg loop have tje same format,
Perhaps Steve wilkinson can help

That way, people can add it to the google calendar on android phones and in chrome browser etc.
OK, I think this should work. Let me know if not.

July is looking a bit blank if anyone wants to pin up a date for that Peak ITT

I'm also working on getting this incorporated into a proper webpage of it's own

There is the one on Easter weekend, details of which I hope to confirm in the next couple of weeks.
While I was at it I thought I'd put the August Bank Holiday up there as a "mass start" ITT. It might just be me doing it, but you gotta start with at least one

I believe Ian suggested the 4th July?
I also have the Dales 250 on the drawing board (just need to get my finger out to test ride it). If theres a date slot somewhere i'll pull my finger out.

My only plans next year are Puffer, Cairngorms Loop and HTR. Perhaps the Shindig if Bryan runs it again, and I'd like to get another long trip late summer if I can.

I'm going to see if I can get the time off to be able to do the WRT, but that'll be about it, at least up until the summer as my main focus is going to be attempting to get into shape for the Outlaw triathlon at the end of July

I was suggesting 10am July 4th for a group start on the peak ITT. Feel free to put that on too.
Not sure what my plans will be for the year but will hopefully include the cairngorm loop, peak ITT and the borders 350.
Just had first ride today on new winter road bike so planning to hit that over the winter and get properly fit for next year!

Added. If you let me have a start location and perhaps start a dedicated thread for it here, I'll add the link too.
