I reckon its cash and the fact that most of the races are down south... I would be scared to go that far in case i ended up with some funny accent...

I reckon its the other way round. Those with race bikes already e.g. Felix and Weagi prefer "the reassuringly expensive route"

The suvverners are too strapped for cash paying for their overpriced beer, congestion charging, train tickets etc so the MT has come up with a "cheap" race series for 'em!!:P

Don't make it sound too good up here or they'll all be up ere, the price of pigeon lofts with go through the roof!!

you wanna try cheshire

I don't think its humanly possible to buy anything in cheshire under 100k these days. It's all these fancy southerners and football players!!

You hardly ever see flat caps these days and the whippets have nowhere to play anymore :P
