Is the 19/20 combo a hog hill double header?Chris Clague wrote:I had a provisional calendar a while back, but I'd probably be shot for sharing it. I can however confirm our EL round on 19th September and LL on 20th (which clashes with another EL race again as they ignored our request to keep it clear). We are also hosting the regionals on 6th December.
Hope is that EL riders will help out at the LL round and vice versa. The course will be similar for both, but I'm toying with the idea of reversing it (but not riding down the steps!).
Of those two most seem to prefer Eastern, but there are others who prefer London and South East. Each have their pros and cons.In people's opinion, which league is better/easier? Central or Eastern?
I'd agree with all of that although. Definitely worth pre-entering EL although, from memory, there were only two races early in the last season where people got turned away and that was only in the 2 x Vets races. Never a problem in the Senior/Junior race.Stuart wrote:My personal and subjective opinion, having been a diehard supporter of the London League until 2 seasons ago and from the V50 start line.
Eastern - excellently organised, results out super fast. But can be too popular for its own good, so if you dont pre-enter you might get turned away. The efficiency sometimes comes at the expense of a relaxed ambience. Some courses veer towards the grass crit side of things.
London - less efficient, more "it'll be alright on the day" which it almost always is. Super friendly vibe. Some great courses (with 1 or 2 shockers depending on your POV) and you get John Mx cheering you on, taking videos and being an all round good bloke.
Central - have only really done the Hillingdon races, which i like. But Oxford and Reading etc are too far away when there is a nearer London or Eastern the same day. Also well organised.
It may well come down to how far you are willing to travel. Plus if you are racing regularly its worth prioritising one league to get a good grid placing and to aim for overall series points.
