In sharp contrast to the 30 degree heat of Friday, Darley Moor was cool 13 degrees when Huan and I arrived on Saturday morning and being an old WW2 airfield “situated on a high plateau” we could be sure that we’d feel every bit of the 15kph breeze; to add to that it wouldn’t remain dry for long.

As long as everyone keep going round the right way and no-one ducks out for a sly three-lap break then you’re all good Simon.

Re: Birmingham Business Park - 10th April | HALF PRICE ENTRY

Hi Fiachra! While the business park races are effectively run on a closed road, British Cycling treat them as 'Road' rather than 'Closed Circuit' which does mean age restrictions (year of 19th Birthday - tbc, I'm just doing some reading). But, there's plenty of opportunity to dip your toe at closed ...

Funny you should ask Ed - yes they do, and I have just signed up to kick off the season here on March 5th. There are events now up on BC throughout the year here with both 4th cat only and Masters races being run.

I will start another thread to see if anyone fancies a trip up to Ashbourne next month.
