Two sets of road works were identified potentially affecting our initial 5 mile events:

1. New doctor's surgery being built at Shawbirch east of The Pheasant at Admaston - 3 way lights

2. Major housing scheme 300 yards east of Shawbirch island affecting the island for 20 weeks.

With potentially two sets wiping out all three of our five mile courses an emergency one, the D305/2 has been applied for an accepted on Monday, 28/3, only to be used IF all of the three others can't be. It is only possible to know what is going on on the way to the event, but all courses start around a mile from HQ. There is a 'pecking order' of courses, required to be stated clearly under Road Traffic Act, 1960

1. No lights near The Pheasant - first choice D305/1 D305/1 - MapMyRide

2. Lights at Pheasant, Shawbirch Island clear - second choice D4/5 D4/5 - The Gate 5 - MapMyRide

3. Roadworks popping up on B5063 - third choice D5/5 Wrekinsport 5 mile D5/5 - MapMyRide 

4. Roadworks near The Pheasant AND on Shawbirch island - Emergency course D305/2 D305/2 - MapMyRide

It is not possible to call this any earlier than the evening by examining what is going on at both locations.
