Brighton mitre Friday night Crit This Friday

[Serge]

This Friday its the Brighton Mitre Hove park Crit. Its a really short loop of Hove park with just one little rise, decent chicane and a short back straight. All in about 1km.

Race starts at 645pm for the 4ths and 730pm for the 2/3 cats.

Greeeeaaaaat place for 4th's to get a few points on the board and apart from our own Addiscombe club road race, the best palce to dip there toe into racing.

The race lasts 30/40 minutes + 5 laps and had a very small field at the last one (Maybe more this time). Everyone seems really easy going and friendly so its not too serious either

I plan on racing there, I will be leaving Croyon at about 4ish if anyone needs a lift. But i will be going out for a few beers after and am unable to bring you back (sorry )

Let me know if anyone is interested.

Good luck - I have a World Cup course to race

I dont envy you doing the drive up there, but the course will be perfect for you. Ive never actually ridden Worry Gill, I always took the chicken run .

Medusa complex is great they, multiple lines down that funnel you into a drop off at speed. Many great riders have binned it there

Have fun.

Weather forecast is shocking - should keep the field small!

Hi guys yes weather looks pretty bad, if it really raining hard I will not be taking part however it should make for some interesting racing as the course is narrow and there is a chicane into a fast downhill corner under tree cover !

Entry on the line. I would bring a turbo trainer/roller to warm up on as there is not much chance to for the 2/3rds as the 4th are still out on the track.

I will let you know who to watch because the same people do the same thing everytime and it works
