Course Information: Known as both Enville and Bobbington, this is another mainstay of the West Midlands road scene, in use for many years, and favouring the stronger riders who can climb and sprint. The toughest section is the 3km drag from the village of Bobbington to the Six Ashes pub, and this is followed by a rapid descent back to the valley. The breaks tend to go on the “heavy” little pull up past Highgate Common just before the finish.
Favours: climbers, puncheurs
Finish: the final 300m to the line outside the airfield is flat, although the curving final metres mean it’s possible to misjudge your sprint.
Recent winners: Oliver Searle (Two Counties RR 2024); David Griffiths (Two Counties 2023); Joe Brookes (Two Counties 2022).
