The race roll out from the HQ will be neutralised along Longwood Road toward the crossroad junction with Belmore Lane (M).  At the junction turn right onto Belmore Lane and proceed up hill; almost immediately after the crest of the hill the road drops away to the left followed by a sharp right-hand bend where extreme care is needed. The race will be de-neutralised after this point.  After a series of rolling hills, the race turns left (M) into Salt Lane and climbs up to the Milbury’s Pub crossroads.  Just before cresting the Salt Lane climb riders will cross the finish line for the first time (there will be a further 10 laps).  At the crossroads (M) the race turns left for a fast decent followed by a sharp climb to the Longwood Road junction, at the junction the race turns left (M) and descends to the junction with Belmore Lane where the race will turn left (M) to complete the circuit.  Riders will cross the finish line 11 (eleven) times in total.  https://www.strava.com/routes/8960238
