As somone whos supported BC through thick and thicker,to me its thick to think I might be swayed now.But then a little birdie said to me that Hugh Cant has dropped his lucrative ad campaign with 57 varieties of courtesy to photographers.Im leaning towards the I dont know if I care corner which may be crowded.

From what i hear, down there they can race for points almost every evening with some evenings with more than one race. Where i live you're lucky to get a race within a 50 mile radius once a weekend, never mind every evening.

I don't really know the situation too well down there, but i don't think they're that badly off for race circuits.

The whole point being that whilst we may have use of MOD land, motor circuits and Hillingdon, the levels of congestion in the south-east do not make it viable to use a circuit less than 50 miles away as the crow flys as you may not get there before the race is over.

if the race is in the evening at a circuit in the direction of the general flow of city traffic leaving London then you really are in for the long haul.
Ironically, a circuit like Eastway that was pretty central was pretty easy to get to if you lived out of east London, travelling against the flow of the evening traffic is not to bad.
No good if you work in London trying to leave. And then, if there is an accident....... well. One time driving back from Europe, once I hit the M25 it took over 2 hours to get round a few junctions and make it into central London. It all shuts down.
Has to be seen to be believed.

Anyway, don't be lulled into a sense that we are complacent about what we had in regard to Eastway, it is precisely because we know how good it was that we want to get it back, this campaign has been going on for years before the closure.

admittedly, i know very little about the situation as i don't race and live up norf, however, if cyclists in this country have had another venue taken from them, of course it will impact on the national level of the sport and is a concern.

No, given the number of facilities that will be in place later this season and post olympics, thanks to BCs policy of quietly carrying out the negotiations in the background

It was the only one in inner London accessable by bike to locals and people in most of the metropolitan area. Hillingdon is already at full capacity. Betteshanger, quicker to get to Mallory, mercedes Circuit - new this year and 5 events only, Crystal Palace not overly accessable and not available when it rains due to H & S. MoD Chertsey Not accesable from the East - ltd usage. Eelmore Hampshire...

Although I could go on I 'm sure you get the point Jim. When I lived in the black country it was feasable for me to drive over to Mallory on a Tuesday evening and get back at a reasonable time, something that is impossible to do in the SE
