Hi Tracy,

This will only be my 2nd road race (Im a tester), so I'm not too sure on the rules about club membership, but the organisers email address is on the site if you want to get in touch with him. I rode the last one at Darley Moore a few weeks ago and it was great to see so many ladies of all abilities in one race.
The team series runs every year I believe - heres the website for more info on that:
