Message Orchard CC: After several discussions with our Commissaires we have made the decision to go back to our original decision of two separate races this Saturday. One for Cat 2 & one for Cat 3. Cat 1 will not be allowed to compete. Can we appeal to all C2 who possibly chose not to enter because C1’s were going to be involved. Enter here: https://eventmaster.ie/event/ooZzUk3tLm
