Addiscombe Members Circuit Race 16th March 2014

Are you thinking about starting racing? Ask about future events in here, find out what you can expect at them and who else is going so you can scrounge a lift off someone rather than riding the 30 miles to get there yourself!

Addiscombe Members Circuit Race 16th March 2014

Postby Ben » Sun Dec 29, 2013 12:21 am

We have the Cyclopark booked at Gravesend from 9am to 1pm on the Sunday 16th March 2014

Venue Cyclopark - The Tollgate, Wrotham Road, Gravesend, Kent DA11 7NP

The current plan is to run two separate addiscombe club members races:
A) Novice/B race starting at 9.30am. 40 minutes plus 1 lap
- The aim is to introduce people to racing.

B) An A race starting at 10.45am. 1 hour plus 2 laps
- Based on entries. My thinking would be to give the 4th category riders, a handicap.

Cost will be £10 for those without a race license. (As £5 of entry goes towards a day license).
£5 for those that have one. The event will be registered as a Go race with BCF, for insurance purposes
I need entries in advance, so that it’s worthwhile having two separate races.

Edit - Helpers would be appreciated. Also spreading the word, since not everyone visits the forum and this sub-section

Hey Ben,

Hope you had a good break.

Count me in...and give me a shout if I can help with organising. You want me to knock a flyer up?

Cheers,

Sam

I'm up for this.

I'd urge anyone even slightly interested to come along and have a go, last year was great fun.

It'd be nice if there was a big non-training group turn-out, as this is an event for everyone in the club to have a go at a [not too competitive] race in a safe and fun environment. Plus the track is really nice, soooo smooth. No traffic, pot-holes or people spitting at you!

Sign up people, it's not just for the fast guys & gals.

I'd concur on this. I've done precisely one mass-start race in my life and it was a club one. Nice, non-threatening atmosphere and I even managed to hang on until the end.

Go on people - you know you want to.

Sam - That would be very helpful. Re flyer. Otherwise just encouraging others, is fine with me.
If I pull my finger out. I should be able to sort online entry. If not I'll try and dig out the entry form.
As I have a few names already.

Cheers,

I will try to get along, haven't been cycling much so far this year but this was great fun last year, even though I got dropped on like the 3rd lap the course is great fun.

Any leeway for guests??! Would be good to meet everyone again. I understand if I can't as it's Addiscombe members only, I'll just race somewhere else!!!!! :wink:
