Ill try to keep it clear, but i think ill be racing the autumn series (yachts) over that weekend, depends if all the crew fancy another race series before chistmas!

another possible problem would be the location, im about as far east as the country allows! and most of your meets seem to take place at cheddar, whilst being great cycling, is just too far for me to travel... (4 hours and 2 tanks of fuel each way!)
