IMPORTANT — well, at least
significant There's a thread on the AUK forum (AUK members only) where the Secretary says that the reasons for limiting calendar distances in England no longer exist in quite the same way as they did, and so 400s and 600s
are to be allowed going forwards, caveat the organiser must do an appropriate risk assessment — not just the paperwork, but actually assess whether it's feasible to run their longer events, taking into consideration the capacity for shops and cafés to cope with an influx of xx riders at a time. I.e. it will be up to the organiser, in consultation with their local events delegate, to decide the most appropriate course of action or limitation.
(this is probably the note that Deano referred to?)
TBH it all seems very sensible and straightforward and I suspect most events will go ahead, but some may be limited in numbers.
