Planning to have a go at least round one in the 3/4 race, weather allowing. I'll have room for one extra bike and rider.
[quote]Are you missing the excitement of racing already?
The inaugural winter race series at the new Hog Hill circuit, will be starting in less than a month. Commencing on 6th December, the series will run every Saturday until 21st February, excluding the 20th December.
With 4 separate races per event, everyone will be able to ride with others of a similar ability level. Ambitious 4th cats can also choose to ride up in the 3/4 event, and confident 3rd cats can test themselves against the E/1/2s. The races are as follows:
12.30 Regional C+ 4th Cat only, 40 minutes, £10
13.15 Regional B 3rd/4th category, 1 hour, £12
13.20 Regional B All Category Women only, 1 hour, £12
14.30 National B E/1/2/3, 1 hour, £12
Races can be entered on the day, and we are offering a special half price entry to Junior category riders.
The series registration fee is £7, and this will allow riders to compete for the generous cash prizes on offer for overall placings. Women will have even more to ride for, with a first prize of a top quality race frame donated by Viner bicycles.
Hog Hill has proven to be a challenging but rewarding circuit that produces worthy winners, and its facilities are second to none: changing rooms with lockers and hot showers, and a café where spectators can watch the racing action whilst enjoying a cup of real coffee. Soup, sausage rolls, and homemade cake will also be available.
Hog Hill - or to use its official name, Redbridge Cycling Centre - can be found opposite the cemetery on Forest Road, Fairlop, Essex IG6 3HP
