Rules & Notes

Although not a British Cycling event we will be running our races for the main part, under British Cycling Rules & Regulations

No mountain bikes or flat bars are permitted on the course, CX bikes only.

No cycling on the football or rugby pitches.

No dogs allowed at the venue.

NEW FOR 2025:

• We will be hosting the usual 5 races but the final series results will be based on your best 4 results. We hope this will help riders who need to drop a round for whatever reason.
• As usual the series will be based on accumulation of time to determine positions... so every second counts.
• If you happen to DNF in round you will be awarded a time equivilent to the last place finisher in your category plus 1min, this means that you can still compete in the series

• Entries will only be taken on the day if the online registration numbers have not been met, entries will be processed on a first come, first serve basis.  Please report to registration upon arrival.

• All riders must sign-on at registration upon arrival and collect a number.  Riders must have a number pinned to the rear of their jersey and a timing chip attached to their left ankle (no chip, no result).
