As usual we have attracted a large entry of 241 so have accepted 15 reserve riders for those who didn't quite make the cut at 57.24. If you are unable to ride please contact me and I shall allocate your slot to a reserve. Please collect your number no later than 10 minutes before your start time otherwise your slot could be allocated to a waiting reserve. A reserve rider takes precedence over a late starter
