The 2011 HDin J will now take place on Saturday 22nd January, a week later than previously advertised.
I've taken this decision for two reasons.
The ride clashed with the Red Bull Minidrome competition, which was significantly damaging the number of riders who were able to take part in my event.
I have not yet recovered from a severe cold, and had already decided that I would be incapable of riding on the 15th. Naturally, I would not like to be thought to be wimping out, and delaying a week gives me at least a sporting chance of doing the ride.
I'm sure there will be some one who has specially set aside the 15th and who will be bitterly disappointed that I have unreasonably altered a long established date. Well, I can only apologise deeply to that person, and say that there seems to be a majority view that the 22nd would be a better day.
So now we must all hope for reasonable weather, as anything might be postponed once, but twice is beginning to look careless.
