Not booking the full track is an experiment to see what just having the bottom circuit does for attendance.  Turn out at Hog Hill has been dwindling, which I think is because the majority are put off by the hill.  Paying for the whole track also seems a bit of an extravagance when on recent visits we've hardly used the top section.

I think "we" should use the hill this year, and do two 45 minute races Dead, both ways, with mass starts Evil Smile.

Also like the hill. But it is just as much fun riding the bottom circuit with a lovely series of bends to negotiate, was great racing there last year. So if it's cheaper and gets more riders out then all the better

Looking at the weather forecast I think there is a good chance of taking one during the race... Big smile
 
Hog Hill and Hillingdon both have excellent facilities (as good as any we go to) which I think include showers if I remember correctly.

Hog hill has showers (used them). Only aware of (& used) showers in sports hall at Hayes.
Never believe an atom they make up everything.

Still can't picture this "hill" you all keep going on about, there's a nice fast bit, some boring bits where the tyres scrub going round and round, and a gentle wee slope to get back to the fun bit again

will probably going out for a road ride up not flat bits instead as it's too far to ride down to to race for me :D
(not out on DofE expedition for a change!)

If I may make a suggestion: what’s wrong with a first short race, say 15/20min crit or a 3-round TT, with the hill and then a second longer race on the lower part?

By the way, a couple of Belgians will be attending Smile
