  1. Hi Laurensia
    I have put my hand up to be on team1 with Michelle & Amanda.
    But I need to get the all clear with my broken hand which is still in a cast. I will message you in a week or two with results from hand surgeon
    Lorna

    1. Noting this CRAZY course Laurensia, I reserve my judgment & application until BWA come up with a course that is sound for all abilities & sealed

  10. I believe there is a fault with the map as published by BWA – Hardwick Road does not go through to Weir Road and up the hill to the monster Haddrill Rd climb – it is a dead end. (In case you have downloaded it)
    I tried riding the course today as per the BWA map and had to backtrack to Campersic Rd and then Haddrill Rd. I will contact BWA to clarify it during the week.
    I only just made it up the hill on a 39/28 (including the odd zig-zag) – Strava shows it gets to 23%.

      1. I know the bit you mean Craig – I could see it from my high vantage point and I wasn’t going there only for it to end in tears (mine). It was a ‘road to nowhere’….. (and I didn’t want to spend all day cleaning my bike).

    2. I have contacted Jeremy Murray – CEO of BWA regarding the course errors. They have promised to make corrections and update the published courses in the near future.

  14. I’m in, and the SPR Chocolat Canard rides again. We’re currently debating whether it’s the Flat or Hilly course that we’re doing.

    1. The hilly looks like a fun course. Cyclo-sportif riders usually fall off on the flat course, will be great fun having them hurtling down the Campersic Rd descent.
