Black Cyclists Network Spring Criterium
26th March 2023
BMCR BLACK CYCLISTS NETWORK SPRING CRIT supported by CONDOR CYCLES at Hog Hill
With thanks to Redbridge Cycling Centre, Sylvie, Fred, Knocker and Debbie, and Condor Cycles for the prizes.There was one race, and 38 starters, incredible for such a truly awful, rainy, windy and cold morning. BCN appreciates everyone who turned up. Hopefully the music, food and good cheer from BCN warmed everyone up. It was a very competitive race.
All categories raced together, with the E+ having a 20 second head start. Matt Holmes of Apollo RT was the winner overall, whilst Julian Niles-Cunnington was the first E. The “DNF” on the results sheet does not do justice to the long list of riders who suffered the conditions admirably, but were pulled out before the final laps to make judging possible.

EARLY NOTICE OF OPEN MEETING
The provisional date for an open meeting of BMCR is Saturday 21st October 2023. The meeting will be held by video link.
NEW PROCEDURE FOR RACE ENTRIES
Race organisers have the option of giving priority to members who organise or help at BMCR events or undertake regional or national roles, or (where appropriate) based on past performance. This leaves a reduced number of places to be available on a first-come-first-served basis, and an increased likelihood that entrants will join a waiting list when they first apply to enter a race.
The policy of opening entries at 5am has always attracted mixed support. With an increased probability of being on a waiting list, the opening time for entries is moving to a more accessible time. Entries will still open 8 weeks before the event, but at 5pm instead of 5am. This change will be effective from Thursday 16th March, so will apply to all events taking place from Thursday 11th May onwards.
