Preferences area. This preferences area has two purposes. Firstly, it enables you to hide some of the races that appear in the table, e.g., long races and/or races that are too far away. It can also be used to show both the distance and the route by road to each race.
There are two ways in which you can control the preferences.
Way 1 allows you to use the length of the race to control which races appear.
Way 2 allows you to use the location of the race to control which races appear. It also enables you to arrange for the table to include both the distance and the route by road to each race.

If you use these ways to control what appears in the table, cookies will be used to store your preferences. There is more about this later.

2. Below there are two drop-down menus. If you wish, choose a home, say Oxford, and choose a distance, e.g., 80 miles. If you do this, a new button labelled show races up to 80M from Oxford will appear. If you click this button, the table of races will be restricted to races that are up to 80M by road from Oxford.

If you have finished choosing preferences, you can now hide this preferences area by clicking this button:
