Can anyone that rode this last year (or someone who knows the roads) confirm if the route still has a gravel section in it?

yes. gradual climb. dont know the ondition of the road but iff you get a nice line you can "gooi". also get the wrong line and you might get a puncture. id suggest iff you are in a bunch try and move up when you pass penhill and you need to be in position when you go past leipzig cellar. 100m after that the dirt road starts

Is this an Argust seeding event…?

I don't think so, seems there is no affiliation with PPA anymore? Only WP Cycling

csa events are timed with those mobii chips so doubt it has any affiliation with CTCT/Racetec

Ah - well at least I'll have a chance of being in a batch after the first hill. Excited .... first road race for me since the pandemic - in fact the last event I did was Eroica nova on 14 MArch 2020 --- just before lockdown.

We're getting frame numbers with embedded timing, but your point still stands.

ah I didn't know there was a timing chip in those, so we don't need the mobii ones anymore ?

Might still need it for future events, but not for this race.

yeah let's see, I have a whole box full of boards and chips and every time they give new ones almost... Not doing that worcester now but I must check what Fedhealth have chosen for timing but I must have what's needed I don't recall buying one when I entered ????

Ended up starting with cat C and bled through all orifices to stay on and then got dropped in crosswinds mainly cos i was precious about riding on the wrong side of the road.

At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it. 

Reality is it was a mercy because I could only take so many more of the surges the cyclopaths were putting in to try and catch a group that went off the front. 

More intervals on zwift needed. 

It was windy and I made a new strava friend as we solo'd the second half. 

Good fun. Lots of suffering.
