Place (nation, city): Newton, Powys, Wales

Technical information: [enter a number between 1 - 5, with 1 being very low / nothing and 5 being very high
Technicality: 4 (Tight corners and some tricky sections which could get muddy quickly
Sand: 0
Uphill: 2/3
Length of 1 lap: 3.6km
Cobbled sections: 0
Final sprint (length of the final straight road): 300m downhill, think Steve Cummings stage at TDF

Other information: We go up and down a few times here on a half road, half grass course but there is many flat sections before the final steep hill and descent to the finish. The hill is sealed road but some may run it except for the final lap. There will be some mild river crossings and ponds in the winter, some of which will be unavoidable. It's a half urban, half countryside course, with a hilly grassy first half and a mainly flat, road second half.

Technicality: 3
Sand: 0
Uphill: 4
Length of 1 lap: Short
Cobbled sections: None but some difficult gravel, sometimes rocky terrain
Final sprint (length of the final straight road): 40m, some winding sharp inclines before a steep kick to the finish.

Other information: Taking place outside the town of *awcrapiforgotstartswithm* near Penrith, the CumbriaCross had been taken place for many years as an amateur race and once even being part of the Superprestige for a good 17 years before the UCI decreed it too rocky for competition and there was no maintenance crew to save the position. Record holder is Hugh Vanautreve and Raphael Visconti, both achieved 4 victories. Now a crew is there to help get it back where it belongs. Still very rocky and some hard kicks and bridges to negotiate but mostly it's undulating gravel and rocky terrain along narrow country roads.

Technicality: 3
Sand: 0
Uphill: 2
Length of 1 lap: very long
Cobbled sections: 1 long one, with increased difficulty, muhahaha Plus another mans made one is considered
Final sprint (length of the final straight road): Velodrome (it was coming :cool

Other information: Yes, it was coming. As part of the controversial UCI scheme to emulate some famous road races for their own gain the riders will complete from the last cobbled section of the Hell of the North. Some more cobbles are being considered. Far not for many shortcuts are planned to get to almost the velodrome before looping back to the start and some man made bridges to get some hills. The velodrome, obviously, will only be used on the last lap.
