BMCR RETURN TO RACING – TEST EVENTS AND CHAMPIONSHIPS

Test Events

Before we return fully to road and circuit racing on 21 June, we plan to hold at least four ‘Test Events’ to try out and review our Covid precautions at races:

Sunday 2nd May – Velo Schils Circuit Races at Colchester – all age categories

Sunday 30th May – Sevale Road Race at Welland, Worcs  – 60+ and women only (Stallard series)

Monday 31st May – Moda Circuit Races at Darley Moor – all age categories

Sunday 13th June – Fleche Waltonne Road Race at Husbands Bosworth, Leics – ABCD only (Stallard series)

Entries will open on RiderHQ for the Velo Schils circuit races, the Sevale RR and the Moda circuit races tomorrow 14 April at 8.00 pm.

Entries will open for the Fleche Waltonne RR on 18 April at 5.00 am (the usual 8 weeks before).

National Championships

As all the 2021 Road Race Championships were due to be held between late May and early July, and rescheduling them all in a crowded late season calendar would be difficult, we have decided not to hold road race championships this year.

We hope that the other national championship events can all go ahead:

Sat 17 July – ABC Crit Champs – Bath

Sat 4 Sept (prov date) – DEFGH & Women Crit Champs – Darley Moor / Shrewsbury

Sun 5 Sept – Time Trial Champs – Napton, Warwicks

Sun 19 Sept – Hill Climb Champs – Vernham Dean, Hampshire

? October – Track Champs – Newport, S Wales

Those planning to organise other BMCR races after 21 June please contact your Regional Events Coordinator now to agree the date and get the event listed on RiderHQ.

As always, we are extremely grateful to those who promote races for BMCR.
