the birds i train for this race are late breeds our birds that got stoped racing with this race in mind. also if any of my birds are good enough to score well at this race then thay won,t race again till the xmus race next year.

Loved reading the count down to this race last year! Ave put an entry in for a couple myself 70 odd miles but it must be tough, lets hope the snow stays away !! Going to start training a bit more regularly as they are flying very well round the house.

Good luck to everyone sending.... Good birds doing that. Always fancied a crack at it but I prefer shows in December but since my dad is back I think might look at breeding latebreds for 2014 race
