Cambridge, lovely route. Lee Valley, all off road on tarmac paths.

I did Oxford as my first last year, really enjoyed it!

Derby Half/ Ramathon in early June is very flat.

Half of it is urban, and the other half along the river.

Hackney hasn't sold out yet.

I am really tempted by this one.

Depends where abouts you are. If you're in the North then you won't get much flatter than Vale of York, but it's not a fun course. Manchester is pretty flat too.

Brighton, Oxford, Goodwood all flat and fast routes

Oxford and Bath are close together in terms of dates - I'll have to see which one looks of most interest to me.

I've done Royal Parks and Richmond and I'd say they're both pretty flat.

Richmond is this weekend so can't make that but will consider the royal parks - it sounds like it would be a lovely route too.

I'd like to do the London landmarks one but again would need to wait until next year for that one.

Hackney is mainly flat.

I'd love to do this one but it is sold out now. Another to keep on the list for next year.

Grand Union Canal

No toilets on the route - that would put me off, I'd immediately need to go!

Hampton Court has 2 - both flat and very fast. Also I found the new forest half to be flat.

Is that one in Feb and one on March? I'll have to consider those for next year.
