The course
The race is being held on the well known central region course “Cublington” close to Milton Keynes/Dunstable. It is a 20-kilometre course starting just outside Wing, Bucks and will head towards Stewkley (a long drag) turning left as you enter the village towards Dinton via a fast descent.
On to the A413 and left through Whitchurch via a fast descent, then bear left for Cublington. There is a short tough climb in to Cublington, which is also where the finish will be, and then a fast descent back towards Wing to complete the circuit.
