Saturday 1st September 2012
(starting
6:30pm)
Floodlit Bike Race
The entire course is based around the centre of the historic
town of Newport, a bustling market town in rural Shropshire.
There is plenty opportunity for spectators to get a close up
view of the riders. Generally the whole course is lined with
cheering spectators so there is a great atmosphere right round
the circuit which is floodlit throughout its entire length.
The course starts in the High Street, proceeds down the road
passing the Church on the right, swings sharp right to go up
St. Mary Street (cobbles) and turns left back onto the High Street.
It then proceeds around the mini island and continues past
The Barley to the Shakespeare Inn where it turns left into
Avenue Road. The course then turns right into Avenue Road South,
right at the Bowling Green, into Granville Avenue and a final
right to rejoin Upper Bar/High Street at the Cottage Care Centre
to complete the lap.
The course is made up of fast straights, with complex turns
giving the riders the opportunity to show off their speed and
skill and because the entire route is within Newport centre,
there is plenty of opportunity for spectators to see the action.
