The Stafford Grand Prix used to be a hard race finishing outside the Showground and taking in a good couple of climbs. I got dropped in several of them!!

Might try to get to Stafford (work permitting). I'm still at that "I'd rather be riding it" stage, but several stones and many years tell the truth! It's still hard to watch and not be involved though.
