50th Birthday Race - All Invited

[El Gordo]

Some dreadful news to reveal. On Saturday June 30th, I'm 50 years old.

But defiant to the last, I've entered the Dorney Dash 10k:

I've mailed a few likely suspects, inviting them to join me, but thought I'd broaden this out to rope in a few more.

The plan is to do the race (starts at 10 a.m.), then glug a bit of Champagne (which I'll provide). After that we'll go and have some lunch somewhere in one of the local pubs. With a bit of luck I'll track down one by the river.

All are welcome to join us, but please let me know in advance so that I can make suitable arrangements.

Partners and children welcome.

The race itself is a dead flat 10K round Dorney Lake. This is the Eton School rowing HQ, and is the venue for the 2012 Olympics rowing events. It's not the most beautiful of courses, but there's no traffic, and it's fast, with excellent PB potential.

If you're planning on doing the race, don't leave it too late as this race always sells out in advance. (And note that it's a Saturday, not the more usual Sunday.)

It would be great to see you there.
