Hello all,
I'm looking for suggestions for a venue for a 'cross race in York this December. All the Yorkshire points series races are in West or South Yorkshire and I know there are other riders in this area who'd like to race a little closer to home. Pete Sutton at British Cycling has offered support for an event, but needs a venue. Steve Savage has kindly offered Clifton support provisionally too.
My first choice was Knavesmire, specifically the wooded area parallel to Tadcaster Road but the council won't allow it and have offered the area around the Rawcliffe Park and Ride area and the BMX pump track. I've had a look and the parking looks better than the riding!
I've also wondered about Walmgate Stray/ University campus since the terrain is a bit more lumpy.
The date is likely to be the 2nd or the 16th December.
Any suggestions or comments welcome, if nothing else we could have some fun recceing a course!
