There are shedloads of proper central London potential venues.
I don't believe that Raoha are challenging themselves, they've got the organiser of the Morvelo Citycross events to do their UK Supercrosses. She has done a great job by the looks of it and I'm not knocking the events per se, the more bike races the better but it is out of kilter with their other super cross races.
Not quite a race round a car park, it even goes through a building. Admittedly not much soft stuff but I find it hard to fault too far Rapha for trying their hand at an urban cross.
They've demonstrated they know how to do muddy cross very well so why shouldn't they challenge themselves. And SFW if it isn't BC sanctioned. BC aren't and shouldn't be the be all and end all of bike racing in this country.
