I see some CCA are riding the Crest RR tomorrow, which course are they using? I believe it's changed from the norm due to roadworks at Littlebury, but can't find any info online. I might come along to watch with my daughter, her first taste of racing :)

    Hi Chris

    That looks like it. I found this description on East London Velo's website:

    At the junction of the B184 & Bolford Street in Thaxted take the B184 towards Saffron Walden on Newbiggen Street (B184), continue onto Walden Road (B184) & Thaxted Road (B184) to Howlet End, turn left (M) onto unclassified road Water Lane, turn left (M) onto unclassified road Ivy Todd Hill, continue on Mill Road through Debden then Thaxted Road to Debden Green, at T junction (Thaxted) turn left (M) onto Newbiggen Street (B184) to complete the circuit.
    The FINISH and Prime Point is in Water Lane at the end of the Lay Bye 0.8 mile from the left turn at Howlett End.

    9am start and finish around 11.45-12pm.

    Good luck to the Ashwell team on Sunday and may see you charge past! Go Ashwell!

    Thanks, also found the info hidden in another thread.

    Just got back from seeing the first three laps in Debden. There was a breakaway of about 5 riders on the second lap with a 30s gap on the bunch, then on the third lap a few more had joined that break, including Tom T. The gap looked a little bigger too, with other riders trying to bridge. Fingers crossed the break holds for Tom to get a decent finish.

    Tom got 8th, first CCA road race points of the season.
