Perfs Pedal Race 2015, Entries Open!
Eamonn Deane writes … The traditional domestic road-season opener in the South started way back in July 1964, moving to its early season slot the following year. Promoted by Mick Waite on behalf of VC St Raphael, the ‘Perfs’ has always provided a tough early season test. The vagaries of the winter weather as much as the course, providing the examination.
The 2014 edition of the Perfs Pedal was cancelled due to flooding. The Perfs Pedal was also cancelled in 2003 due to flooding and again in 2010 this time due to poor road surfaces.
Organiser Mick Waite presenting the cheque to 2012 winner Chris Opie.
The 45 mile, 2015 race takes place on Sunday 8th February 2015 and will feature four laps of the Portsdown Hill circuit above Portsmouth before switching to the Newtown Circuit, the finish coming on the second climb of One Hundred Acres wood.
Perfs is open to Elite, 1st, 2nd & 3rd category riders and features National Escort Group accredited motorcycle marshals and accredited road marshals.
