Dear all, out of respect to flood victims I had thought about canceling Chinese New Gear 2011, but after spending the last two weeks cleaning out my work and five of my friends houses who lost everything I have decided the race will go on. However there will now be a donation entry required, with full proceeds going direct to the premiers flood appeal.

So there are plenty of prizes up for grabs and the course will be longer and more challenging than last year, I’ve even got a few more sneak peaks I need to post up.

So the race is on 12 Feb. See you there.
