Spring at Cyclopark 2

 

Just to let you all know, there is a youth racing series starting on Friday 3rd May at Cyclopark

 

Full details can be found on the British Cycling website by clicking here

 

It's a series of 9 events plus a 'finals' event, running each Friday.  6 of the 9 events will count towards the final results.  The racing is on the tarmac circuit, which will be closed off to general use.

 

Racing rules do apply, so you need to ensure your kit is properly set up (primarily checking the bikes aren't overgeared, which is a relatively simple adjustment to sort out).  Bikes will be checked at the event, but I was reliably informed (I hope) by the event organiser that entrants on MTBs in the U8s would not be subject to this, given they will be considerably disadvantaged over all those on road bikes...

 

If you've not been to Cyclopark before, it is a fantastic facility, and has a great cafe on site too.

 

If you are going, look out for us in the U8s with Peter Carpenter who should be suitable adorned in his Raiders tee-shirt (roll on the proper jerseys...)

 

Hope to see some of you there !
