British National Road Race
« on: March 19, 2014, 02:57:18 PM »
One for the diary! Sunday 29th June British mens and women's road race. I remember few years ago we had a great club ride to Abergavenny to watch, Be good if we can do the same again this year.

Steve, are you still planning to do this? Have you given any thought to where you'd watch the race?

Yeah definitely, as most people know my route planning isn't very good so may need some help. Be good if we could have a few more numbers, and someone who knows the area to put us in a good spot.

This is the course map. One long circuit and then10 short circuits around Abergavenny. So probably best to get to Abergavenny itself.

The mens road race doesn't start until 1pm, if we are in Abergavenny for the finish then cycle back its going to be really late. How about watching it in Caerleon then coming back, any thoughts?

Long range weather isn't looking that great. I probably won't ride.

Premature; surely. Wonder what likelihood of a forecast 5 days on being correct is?...time will tell. There's always the tv if it rains!

Agreed - I won't rely on the weather forecast until the day before! However if there's a hint of rain, riding to Abergavenny, hanging around and riding back does not appeal!

Steve I'd be happy to watch it in Caerleon and then come straight back.
