25-35 riders in both races. Last year was fun as Nazi commissaire kept stopping the 2/3 race as they were over the white lines up Tram Rd in crosswinds.

Up Tram Rd to Oxford and then over the top and down the road that leads back to Eyreton Hall. Big loop. Not a super exciting course.

Missed that riding cat 4/5. Terry is such a great advocate for riders rights and common sense officialing.

Do any cat5 riders do this ride. Only see Lauren and Fergie talking about the cat 4/5 and I'm sure you guys could easy ride in the next grade up.

Your far too good for Cat 2!!!
Last years winner was Andre Chappel who is a Masters 2 if not 3 by now.

Seasoned Pro aged 40+ if not 45+ by now. If your getting beaten up by someone that old then shame on you!
