Event Summary
Event Overview
Who? Open to young riders aged 5-12 who have developed some skills. Open to riders aged over 12 who would like to have a go at riding fixed wheel.
What? Two training race sessions for young riders, leading up to fun racing. Riders will be prepared for the BSCA Regional Grass Track Championships on 8th July. The emphasis will be on fun plus developing skills and fitness.
When? Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th July 2024
Where? The HQ will be Ackers Base Camp. Golden Hillock Road, Sparkbrook, Birmingham, West Midlands, B11 2PY, United Kingdom W3W: //also.chill.slide
Why? This is the same venue and format we'll be using for the 2023 BSCA Regional Grass Track Championships on 8 July, so it will give riders a chance to preview the venue and hone their skills for the event.
What equipment do I need? An off-road bike (smooth road tyres won't grip); helmet; gloves; clothing that can keep you warm enough – but not so you get too hot putting an effort in; layers are good. Grass isn't the same as tarmac, so tyres are worth considering. They need some tread. A good test is to use a 5p. Does the tread go up to the dotted line? If so, that’s OK.
What if I haven’t got a bike like that? Email organiser and we can sort it out.
How much? £2 per session.
For the young riders, a parent/carer must be present. Please complete a consent form (DOC) for all riders and e-mail to academy@beaconrcc.org.uk in advance.
