Evening.
Anyone doing this race next weekend?

Any tips welcome.
I've done a few circuit races but this will be my first proper road adventure... Staying near(ish) the front so breaks can be spotted seems to make sense, but what else should I be doing?

Not riding it but its on a new circuit this year. Local roads to me
Main concern would be the shocking road condition on the S bends before the Calvert turn. 1/2 way from Gawcott. Potholes and expansion cracks everywhere. Its bad enough when there is just a cpl of you let alone 80 odd.
Definately try to look at that bit before hand, middle of the lane is smoothest.
There are also a cpl of narrow bridges that will be pinch points so best be near the front for them
Oh and enjoy it 🙂
