The Races.
Tarbes 2011
Organised by: Belgische Verstandhouding
Marking: Tuesday 12th July
Liberation: Saturday 16th July
Minimum distance for the International Race: 730km
Liberation site:
LALOUBERE PARKING GEANT CASINO A LALOUBERE
43°12'38,00/00°04°26,00 Est
News that the Netherlands, Z.L.U., will not be participating in this race will make a big dent in the entry. It arises, I believe, over an inability to reach a compromise on marking time and days and if nothing else goes to show that at times the UK is not the only place that cannot manage to work together.
