Looking at the London league calendar, there isn't much on in November other than the national trophy race.......as a V40 mid packer will I get a serious kicking if I enter?

Have you ridden Ardingly before? It’s a great course, especially if it’s damp. That alone would make it worthwhile.

I’ve never ridden a NT round, but I think the 80% rule is applied in all races so you run the risk of being pulled early if the leaders are getting close. But it’s quite a long lap so it might not happen. As I see it, that’s the only downside, in that you might not get to ride a full race. Otherwise what is there to lose?

I was hoping to do it too, but that’s looking very unlikely now.

I rode at ardingly a couple of years a go in the freezing cold and on inappropriate tyres and loved it.

How does the 80% rule work?

It sounds like I better dust off my rocky dvd , eat some raw eggs and do some training then 😀
