Women's racing at Crystal Palace

[Sarah_M]

Someone on my running forum posted this to me. Did anyone go? Anyone plan to go over the season? Do you need a liscence for this one?

CRYSTAL PALACE RACING - EVERY TUESDAY EVENING: STARTS 22nd APRIL @ 7.15pm

We can have our own race at Crystal Palace Park. We just need 12 women to enter for this to be the case.

This is a short (800m), fast and exhilarating course. There is a climb and a couple of bends for you to practice your skills on. Good road racing practice. Friendly atmosphere. Various categories of rider race there so you'll find your level.

£10 – Entry on the day (Organiser is Michael Moore: Tel – 01689 829682)

Location as follows:

Loads of us did. Check out the other threads for the Palace, they're all over the place. I had a great time up there. I'm going to go next week too. Be rude not to, must take coffee

You'd be suprised what a gurdle, sports bra and lycra can hide!!!!

Sarah, you do need a licence to race, but you can do the odd one off without one by paying a "fine" (which apparantly has replaced the day licence). This is £10 per race plus the race entry fee of £10 at Palace, you just pay both when you sign in. If you are going to do a fair bit of racing then this isn't very good value (and you can't get points on a day licence/fine), but they are a good way to do a couple to get a flavour of it to see if you like it or not.
