Held in Hampshire, this was a tough race to win and among the winners since 1998 are Chris Walker, Russell Downing and John Tanner …

Held in Hertfordshire, starting Welwyn Garden City during its final runnings, the race was part of the Premier Calendar

Raced at Aintree, this race’s list of a winners is like a who’s who of British greats.

A classic held just north of London and with a great list of winners including Roger Hammond and a certain Phil Griffiths …

Held in North Yorkshire, this event, organised by Bob Howden, has twice doubled as the British RR Championship and will do so again in 2012.

One of the Scottish Classics still running today in the Southern Border region of Scotland.

Another race (1955 – 2001) steeped in history but sadly lost to the sport ten years ago.

A race (1936 – 2003) from a small island producing some of the World’s best bike riders.

One of the Eastern region’s finest and a classic race that still attracts a quality field and rightly so.

The daddy of the classics (a British monument you might say) and the race pros want to win year in, year out. Thank goodness for the Lincoln GP…
