I am probably going to do this. Its a good course and it should be fun riding racing under flood lights. I think it could be quite competitive tough as there will be some riders who need only a few points to move up a category before the season ends.

I wouldnt say you need to be as south as Clee. If you hit, Kinver, Shatterford, Arley, Stottesdon, Ditton priors, Shipton and then Longville you will be nearly there and would of used virtually no A or B roads apart fron B'ham to Stourbridge and Arley to the Stottesdon turning. The lanes are so peac...

Was a great ride by Sean, who nearly managed to stay away for the entire race along with another rider. I tried to chase them down when they broke away but they were absolutely storming! To get 5th after that 2-up is awesome. We both have the Midlands regional championships this Sunday which is goin...

Paramount Spring RR result

Another second place in an extremely windy 70 mile road race (cats 2/3/4) near Shrewsbury yesterday morning. Only about a third who started, finished. I attacked on the first of the two final accents and gained a small lead but then blew up and another rider flew past me and I wasn't able to hold hi...

I raced in the Two Counties road race on Sunday 7th April. After a failed attempt of a break on lap two of the 50 mile course, I attacked again at the start of lap three and escaped with two others (Joe Atkins and Phil Hinch) who were both willing to share the work load to build up a maximum gap of ...

Severn Bridge RR Result

Before the very unfortunate incident in the Elite race down in South Gloucestershire on 3rd March there was a support race for 3rd category riders only. The race was an easy 27 miles (4 laps of a 10km circuit) featuring a nasty climb to the finish. Not only were points being awarded for placing but ...

I used disc brakes on my first road bike from 2010 to the 2012, but only because that's how I bought it (it was marketed as being a city hybrid, and I installed the drop bars myself). I now ride with rim brakes and much prefer it, especially on long descents. Disc brake stopping power isn't really n...
