Feature: Is the season over yet?

A common question I get asked is ‘when does the road cycling season end’ – Answer is Never!

It’s Autumn, so there’s no road racing on right? Wrong! This weekend (Nov 3) sees yet another ‘winter’ event with the Inverse RT Winter Points Grabber 1 at Hillingdon and during the winter there are the classics like the Winter Series at Hillingdon which has been running for well over a decade (almost two!).

There are also plenty of new Winter Circuit Series events as well as Hill Climbs and club Time Trials. No doubt other events will be forthcoming (still awaiting date for the Perfs Pedal for example) but in the meantime, here’a a quick and dirty guide to most (not all) of the events on in the coming months.
