    Part P.829 near Southampton. Not flat tho dude, and not hilly enough to be totally selective! Done 4 on that course already this year.

    10 miles is the shortest distance for "open" events (excluding hill climbs)

    We've got a 5 mile TT near York- it's the clifton introductory time trial.

    Mostly it's a bunch of beginners waddling around the course, but you always get a few fast people out you can test yourself against.

    5 miles is quite a fun distance to be honest. You don't need to pace at all, just keep aiming to get to the next tree/road sign etc and it'll be over before you know it.

    Probably a bit far travel wise for a 5 miler but for anyone in East Sussex:
