Info for Riders

The 2016 Arrow TrackFest will be a game of two halves. The first half sees a series of events suitable for both experienced track racers and Newbies who are just getting into track competition. It comprises 3 events that are each physically challenging but don’t require a lot of bunch racing experience. They are a flying 200m individual TT, a flying 1 Km Team Sprint (3 riders with no restriction on distance at the front) and a 4 Km Team Pursuit (4 riders). The “Team” events will be open to club and composite teams and can include a mix of categories within each team e.g. 1 youth rider, 1 woman, 1 senior in the flying Team Sprint. There will be a “no tri-bars” rule so all teams are on a level (less technical) playing field, a key feature being how each team balances any ability mismatch within the team. These events are aimed at encouraging regular track riders who may feel they are not ready for the challenges of bunched races but want to sample competition. The Entry Fee for these events is Seniors £
