Safety Notes – poor surfacing
There is a sharp descent past the Battlefield Viewpoint. The surface of the road on the left hand side has a longitudinal and potholed ridge about a metre from the edge of the road. This has been clearly marked with yellow paint to help riders.
A second descent leads to the marshalled turn left onto Longhold Road, which has bumpy sections and, again, some highlighted potholes.
After the S bend leaving Sibbertoft Village onto the “runway straight” there are highlighted potholes in the first third or so of that long, long, long road…..
This a very quiet course. Ride safely and enjoy!
