I've just been looking at the latest "update" from them and is anyone else any clearer on what is or isn't happening?

In one sentence they say "Velo Birmingham is returning in Spring 2019" blah blah blah but then they also say "in the coming weeks we're hoping to annoucne a brand new 100mile closed road velo event which will take place in Autumn 2018"

So will that be the "not the Birmingham Birmingham Velo 2018"?

I had the same email. They seem to be planning an event somewhere else for the autumn and then Birmingham in spring 2019. I was planning to do it again so I’ve booked mad hatter Cotswold sportive instead. Not closed roads but should be fun.

This is my local area, I'm worried they are trying to throw something together on the same date. There are some lovely quiet roads around, and they could get quite a lot of climbing in too, but they aren't cheap to enter and I think I may resent forking out for riding on roads I know very well.
