The Sprint distance will be a 1 lap affair and run in conjunction with the Standard distance event. Based at the Sailing Club, a great family weekend with a fast rolling bike, which promises to be a PB course.
Blithfield Reservoir is situated in some of Staffordshire’s most beautiful countryside. The 790 acre reservoir was opened in 1952 and much of the surrounding woodland is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

A great family weekend with a fast rolling bike, which promises to be a PB course. The event has been taking place since 2006 and in previous years has hosted major championship events.
