Ashwell Spring Grass Track Meeting - NGTS

Track , Ashwell – Sunday, 18 May 2025

Event Summary

Event Overview

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

Junior/Adult Open riders are split into groups A & B 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 group A 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 group B only (approval at discretion of the organiser).  Riders will therefore race in either group A or B, but not both.  British Cycling points will be awarded only in group A.

National Short Track & Endurance Series races are open to all adult riders.

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.

Timetable:
11:00 – 11:30  Sign-on & course practice.
11:45               Race briefing.
12 noon           Race start.

Prize allocation:

Open group A/Open group B/Female Omnium  (1st £15, 2nd £10, 3rd £5)
