emdee Mar 2016 4:35pm, 8 Mar 2016 2,808 posts	0 emdee I did an abroad one at the weekend - Wrexham. It even snowed during the race for a short while. Malta the week before was good, but unfortunately pretty warm and very windy on the day.

DeeGee Mar 2016 1:21pm, 9 Mar 2016 17,044 posts	0 DeeGee I fancy a pop at Austria next year. In order that I can plan a whole year in advance and such like, any suggestions. I don't want a PB, just want atmosphere, scenery and maybe a nice place to stay.
