Hi All.

Weather is set fine for the this year's Bassingham Bash on Saturday, and all is looking good for a lot of stalls and entertainment in the village show to be enjoyed after the race.

Note that there should be some entries available on the day, but it you are considering the race at this late stage we would still prefer you to enter in advance online. This would avoid any long queues at registration on Saturday. The price for entries on the day will be raised by a couple of pounds. .

Looking forward to seeing old and new faces on Saturday.

It'll be fun!
