This Sunday the Derek Lusher Memorial turns the quiet Suffolk lanes south-west of Ipswich into the arena for the Eastern Region’s one-day title fight.Â
No less than seven regional titles are on the line this Sunday (1st June) in Derbyshire, as the partnership between the University of Nottingham CC and Yomp Bonk Crew once again delivers the East and West Midlands Road Race Championships in the beautiful foothills of the Derbyshire Dales.
Regional titles rarely come with a championship jersey to show off in the bunch, but they do confer something just as valuable: year-long bragging rights and a line on the palmarès that can open doors to bigger starts. On Sunday those rights will be settled on Cumbria’s rolling Calthwaite circuit, where the North West, Yorkshire & North East Championships unfold over ten laps of a lumpy circuit.
