Tim is once again going to raise some funds for the Memorial Fund.
The first major race of 2008 that he'll be involved in will be on 09 March 2008. A new event, and by the look of things, a technically demanding one at that, but it sure looks good! 3 laps, 50km. At least it will keep him quietly pedalling away over the winter!
And for those who don't know, Tim appears once again appears in print, latterly in the January 2008 edition of MBR magazine, again as a "test pilot" on some 29 & 26 inch wheeled bikes.
