Fixed wheel track bike racing on a 333m oval grass track.

Junior/Adult open riders are split into A & B groups to allow riders of similar ability to compete together and to allow an entry point for novice riders.  All riders may choose to race in the A group only.  If a rider holds a 4th Category race licence, or 3rd Category race licence with no points from this and recent years, they may choose to race in the B group only (approval at discretion of the organiser).  Riders will therefore race in either the A or B group but not both.  British Cycling points will be awarded in the A group Omnium and 8km.

Our aim is to hold separate Open group A, Open group B, Female & Youth category races but we may need to combine races if numbers dictate.

National Short Distance & Endurance League races are open to all adult racers.
