Any amateur course designers out there might be interested in this new GoogleMap related website that allows you to plot a route and then save it as a TinyUrl:...
Thats really cool.... And you can use it for running distances where roads don't go....alleyways fields etc whoops have i just given awauy my secret...
Thanks for showing the GMap Howard This is an alternative course for the Long Hanborough Hilly, it avoids the nasty narrow road and turns in Finstock, but...
Hi Richard theres a right turn there - near 13 at the bottome of church hill out of north leigh - its also very narrow and passes a church... DM ... From:...
The right turn after 13 is the same as in the present course. - I've never had any problems there. The left turn at North Leigh towards number 12 is a little...
There`s still some tight bits on it. Blasting through Ramsden could be a bit hairy. Especially on a Sunday morning when the road Is often double parked due to...
I agree that the course is far too dangerous.. i can remember doing 36 mph down towards the bottom of the hill at northleigh, you then have to perform a right...
I hadn't heard anything about the LH course being banned. I was just testing out the new google thing. My motivation was meeting a huge 4*4 on the long narrow ...
One for Chris Hart, I feel: I've seen a course description for Chris Hart's new Cumnor 10, starting down the Wantage road. I was just wondering where we'd park...
yep...i would say Chris is best to answer that. There do seem to be some lanes near both Marham and Frilford - both within a mile current meeting place would...
good points Howard - maybe Ox Magnets (?) inn the trees nearby might help for an Open. Anyway with a 360 degree turn on a dual carriageway - get into fast...

The OUCC used a headquarters in Wooton that would be much closer to the new start than the HQ in Cumnor, as I understand the new course. The last time we used...
360 degree turn - thought you only did those in ice skating ? I like the Oxford Mail - their coverage of the local fishing is second to none - with lots of...
Parking for club events could be on the road leading into Tubney, which is very close to the start and has less houses than the road on the Gozzard's Ford...

Yeah OK so 180 - my concern is with riders understanding of the hazard potential of turning across fast moving traffic ...not in the numerical detail JJ -- ...

Thats fair enough John we all make mistakes, but its difficult to understand your point of view without clarifying the error. I actually think that the turn on...
Can some one remind me what we do at the roundabout turns on the Cumnor 10 and the Witney 10 and many other dual carriagway courses! Surely the right turn at...

my point exactly - but a little more succinct dm ... From: "Geoff" <geoff.booker@...> To: <oxford-cycling@...> Sent: Wednesday,...
Hi - so if hazard is in the eye of the beholder and control of risk lies with the rider .......what EXACTLY is wrong with 'our' hilly course ?????????? JJ --...

A Hazard is a hazard, you decide how much of a risk the hazard is to you. Its up to you to decide if you think its safe to promote an event on it......provided...
John nothing at all. No course is 'safe'. The Hanborough hilly needs to be riden with care in places, that's all (and newcomers should perhaps be advised to...

I agree with Patrick... Long Hanborough is a great course to ride. Okay, it has risks, but so do all our courses. Personally I'd prefer the risk of having to...

Where did the debate about the Long Hanborough course originate?...
Hi Patrick - looks like we have a compromise which actually makes the event rather tougher !! but still retains the need for a high level of bike riding skill...

Did a lap of the new course yesterday. It does seem to have eliminated some of the dodgier and steeper parts and a good idea to take out the run down to the...
Yeah that's the one Dave. I see it's called the HCC263. Think I'll give that a go then when it comes around. ... the one ... on the ... in the ... skating ? ...
