THE HHCC SANTINI BOVINGDON BOMBER 
HHCC run criterium racing at the popular HHCC Bovingdon Bomber Cycle Circuit. The Bomber is a 1km long smooth purpose built racing circuit. It is fast, flat, sweeping and technical and always produces good safe racing. We continue to be supported by our sponsors Santini Custom, Lovelo Cycleworks and Musette Café.
