I've raced this once before, and will be taking part next weekend too.
It's around lovely country lanes, well marshalled (friendly marshalls) and relatively flat - there is one hill at aout 7k or 8k if I remember correctly - not too long though.
Here's a description of the course from a previous race info sheet (we now have a single sheet for all 3 events each year so there's not room to include this level of detail).

Last chance to enter online - entries close at midnight tonight - but we will be accepting entries on the day, It looks like we're heading for a really good sized filed this year.
