The Pentultimate round of the Gawcott Challenge Cup is this week, time for a few riders to beat their time set in previous 4 rounds. We have a new leader in Ian Rush (Squeak) with 7% improvement, with Paul close behind at 6%. Weather is quite warm @ 20c, with a light wind.
The remaining date scheduled the 7th September, with a planned earlier start as the light starting to fade much earlier now.
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
Please also remember some lights for the ride back to your Car or Home.
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
