Anyone know exactly where this course is and where it goes?

It's not on the list of CTT courses and the only event that uses it the link goes to a wrong course somewhere down south.

Any ideas?


Thanks.

    The road is a bit rough south of Walshford. Otherwise quite fast except for the roundabouts. I would say a bit quicker than the V212. I ran slightly lower tyre pressures and it was fine. Until I punctured with 1/2 mile to go. Finished on a flattening tyre but just made it.

    Have you ever ridden V318? If so how does it compare to that?

    No.
  • V111 is a lot flatter than the V318. The road surface is rough in places and can suffer with cross winds. But it is quicker.

    Funny numbering system up there, all courses in South Wales are R followed by a number denoting distance and then a random number such as R10/17 or R25/7.

    the last number is`nt random, it`s all carefully worked out.
    constantly reavalueating the situation and altering the perceived parameters accordingly

    I always thought they closed 14 days before.

    Yes I've entered that one. If I'll be doing it or not I don't know.

    The normal closing date for entries is 6pm on the Tuesday 10 to 13 days prior to the date of the event for those held Friday to Monday, and 12 noon on the Saturday, 11 to 13 days prior to the date of the event for those held Tuesday to Thursday. If you wish to have a non-standard closing date you must state when this is to be.

    Not always 14 days.

    Too fast, too slow, entry didn't arrive, amongst other things.

    Give them time it might be on it's way!

    If you're that worried why didn't you phone the organiser to see if he'd received your entry OK?
