For the 2nd year running, Silverstone don't appear to be running any cycling events this year therefore we have the 'Gawcott Challenge Cup', slightly revised from 2022. As before, it's simply turn up at the Crown pub in Gawcott, ride the route as fast and as safely as you can, and then reward your effort with a tasty beverage.
The time set will be your starting point; we will then meet monthly to see how we are progressing and give some encouragement and partake in a tasty beverage. The most improved rider will be awarded the fabled "Gawcott Challenge Cup" (Current Holder Stuart McMahon).
Dates Time 7 till 8
June 30th Starting point time
July 28th
August 25th.
September TBC
Safety
This is an open road event; be aware of other road users
Ride the route before your hot lap; noting, potholes and failed surfaces etc
T junction- as the route turns left with traffic from the right, prepare to stop
Route
This years route is almost the same, but slight shorter (taking out the traffic filter in Gawcott), the start is the same outside the The Crown Pub, and will finish at the Lenborough road junction
