Change of circuit for ACC race?

[Phil S]

Was the ACC race not meant to have been on the Rusper circuit? What is Henfold Hill like in comparison? The name rings a bell but I can't picture it...

[Sylv]

And where are the ACC HQ based - Newdigate or Leigh?

[-Adam-]

And are the surrey league ever going to update their website, they havnt touched it since the 13th! Am i on the start list for the next few races or not!?

Argh, so many questions!!!

[Paul H]

Have to agree with Adam, the publication of results and start lists is pretty poor.

[Toks]

Yeah they're pretty poor with staying upto date with results and start sheets. Don't worry Adam they'll have your details. I think someone called Glyn is in charge of that stuff and he's been on holiday apparently.

The HQ is Leigh Village Hall.

Don't know the whole circuit. The section I rode with Paul last weekend was flattish with a couple of drags.

Don't knock the Surrey League's organisation. It's done at minimal cost by volunteers who have ensured that there is regular road racing in the area for many years (as well as effectively run many if not most of the events). People have holidays, and even when on holiday Glynn has been sending out info by e-mail updates.

If you've got the time available to update the website daily then volunteer, I'm sure they'd be glad of the assistance.

[Toks]

Yeah fair comment Rich. We should always consider that racing (TT/RR) only occurs because enthusiasts dedicate their free time to putting on events and more than likely dipping into their own pockets. That reminds me I've still got four cartons of orange drink left over from last summers ACC Road Race

[richv]

Well I'm judging the finish on Saturday but I'd prefer champagne to orange juice, it might help me out with this blue/white colour blindness I'm suffering

[-Adam-]

really, theres something i didnt know (glyn an ex acc), well every days a school day!

im getting quite nervous about this race now, no pressure an all, ill just be impressed to finish!

isnt henfold hill 20% by the way!? so flat it aint!?

if i knew how to update a website, id offer! (oops, i fear i may have dropped myself in it now!)

[Paul H]

Is it really 20%?

[Sylv]

I saw some riders empty or even throw away their bottles just before the climb at the finish at Dunsfold, wonder what else you can get rid of before a 20%er?

On the OS map, Henfold Hill has one chevron, so it's at least 1 in 7 (14%). If it was 20% it would have 2 chevrons. Marco's probably right with 1 in 6.
