The A4 race will cover 5 laps to give the competitors a total distance of approx. 58 miles / 93km and also offer up cash prizes for the top 6 riders as well as first woman.
As usual there will be a programme of youth events on offer for under 16’s, 14’s and 12’s. The under 16 race will cover 3 laps of the same course as the seniors to give a total distance of approx. 34 miles/54km.
