What is the Whitwell circuit like. :?:

I haven't ridden it before, well can't remember anyway. Just heard from some riders that it's a bit narrow and lumpy. Any views. :?: :wink:

HQ is a few miles from the finish, flattish but slightly narrow, and last time I rode, bad road surface in places. A couple of short, stiff climbs, finish at the top of the second one, and then a short false flat to the sharp left turn onto the main road. This is OK, rolls a bit. Then another hard left, and up the biggest climb ~1 mile, steepens at the top I think. Descent down to a 90deg left turn in the HQ village. Rinse and repeat!

...cheers Chris but I don't like the sound of the 1 mile climb. :!: :shock: :wink:

It's not particularly steep all the way up, Al.

The riders start sprinting on the flat before the climb starts as well :?

Whatever happened to riding inside the white line? A continuous double one at that.
