British National Road Race

I would be happy with Caerleon if it means not hanging around for a late in the day finish, that being said I'll be keeping an eye on the forecast as I don't mind riding in the rain but I wouldn't want to hang around for any length of time.

[Steve Chapman]

Don't worry! I'll be the first to bail out if it's raining.

[Steve Chapman]

how about something like this? haven't done this before so i hope it works.

What time do we need to set off to get to Caerleon in good time to watch the race come through?

[RichardB]

The forecast for now is just a risk of light rain showers.

[Tom]

I can't make this one Steve but your route looks a good one.Just thought I'd mention there's a newish cycle track(signposted)from Caerleon to Newport.Very scenic along the river and fine for road bikes,avoiding some pretty busy roads and junctions

[Steve Chapman]

Tom - Thanks, certainly an option to have a look at on the day and pick up some of the route.

Richard - I think the start time should be the same 9am this should give us time to get there maybe have a coffee and pick a good spot.

I remembered in work last night a club run Rob took us on a few years back when we went to Usk. Ive had another look and used some of the roads we went on so this route might be better.

[Steve Chapman]

Sorry that was the same one

Its the TT over same neck of woods today btw. Between Celtic manor and Usk I think.

Hope to join you on Sunday btw. Looks like a plan is coming together, nice one steve

[RichardB]

Yes thanks to Steve for all the organising, hope you can organise some tidy weather for us on the day too. 

[Neil Bartlett]

Count me in, weather forecast improving, looking forward to it 

[Steve Chapman]

Every time i look the weather is getting better all the time. Hope you can make it Rob, haven't used my garmin 500 for following a route before so would be good to have you navigate through Newport.

[Chris Reed]

I'm in guys!

[Rob Jones]

I hadn't appreciated race doesn't start til 1...thought it finished bout then! So while I may enjoy some miles with the rest of you in the morning, I'll be heading home for my lunch time curfew.

Route looks good Steve.

What's the proposed start time for tomorrow as I'll meet the group en route... probably around this point;
