Many thanks to Newbury Velo who have taken on the BMCR National Time Trial Championships (originally scheduled for April). The event will take place on Sunday 18th October starting at 9 am, and will be sponsored by Novy. It will use a sporting 17 mile course based at Upper Bucklebury RG7 6QH. Entries open on 23 August via RiderHQ at https://www.riderhq.com/events/p/2wmtsr79/f/bmcr-national-time-trial-championship-sponsored-by-novy

Unfortunately the Hill Climb Championships, due to take place on 20 September, have been another casualty of Covid 19. Although time trials are now possible, the logistics and number of helpers required for a combined BMCR and CTT event with additional Covid precautions have made it impossible to go ahead. We hope the event will run again in 2021.

Entries close on Wed 29th at midnight for the BMCR Welland road bike Time Trial on Sunday 9th August. It’s on the 16 mile Welland road race circuit in Worcestershire, with prizes for teams of 3 (min combined age 150 years) – see details on this page.

We have about 40 entries so far, but there’s room for a few more at this first BMCR event since lockdown. Not quite as sociable as normal BMCR events, but there will still be tea and cakes!

Unfortunately it will not be possible to hold the Track Champs at Newport on 18-20 Sept as planned. Although the velodrome is opening again soon, it will be initially for elite riders only.

We hope it will still be possible to hold the championships in October or November, though there may be no bunch races and it may be a one-day event.
