Sprint Champs

Putting the disappointment, yet again, of a wet Wednesday behind us we can look forward to our sprint championships.

These run slightly differently to the other championships, in that, for the senior categories it is an “opt-in” championship.  This means you must sign up separately to compete.  Entries are free.  Heats are decided by a timed 200M sprint qualifier.  Heats are then run down to semi-finals, then lower finals and then upper finals (depending on entrant numbers).

Youth minor and major will have their own sprint champs but will proceed directly to seeded heats, rather than a 200M qualifier.  they do not need to enter online, all youth will be included automatically.

If you don’t fancy it, the schedule (click here) has races in it specifically for non-sprint champs entrants, so there won’t be a points imbalance if you do not enter.

Seniors should sign up here: https://www.riderhq.com/events/p/v8u91qxd/enter

Entries close 6pm on Tuesday.

With 80% rain chance at 6pm and 90% at 7pm and further rain later on lets save a wasted journey yet again this season.

Sprint champs next week. the sun always shines on those ….

As you may or may not have seen, the forecast has worsened significantly in the last few hours. Heavy rain is predicted about 6 or 7pm with around 80% certainty.

We are however, eternally hopeful, so will not be cancelling at this time.

Please be aware though, if you travel and it pours down, racing is not likely to restart.

As usual, no shows or cancellations will have their entry moved to the next week by default.

Fingers crossed.

Almost empty in the spreadsheets for this Wednesday. Please put your name down.

• Gate Marshal
• Pavilion Marshal
• Second Line Judge
• Backup Persons

On that subject, please can marshals get there as close to 6 as possible. They need to go out once we lock the gates really, otherwise people have a habit of jumping the fence back in.

Also, there are a couple of gaps on Fridays races which we could do with filing please.

Thanks.

First things first …

Volunteers. There are a couple of spots still to fill, as well as needing backup names, so as usual please go fill in the volunteer spreadsheet here and/or email volunteering@scrl.co.uk.

The Racing …

With the promise of some really nice weather, I’m sure we are all looking forward to week #9 and Week E in our schedule, taking us to our halfway point through the season.

It’s been a difficult start what with the weather having been so poor, and so many almost-but-not-quite evenings where the track was left just that little bit too damp to race, but we should finally be able to get into the swing of things.

So week #9 is on the way, and careful gear selection will be important as it see’s the first time we are trialling longer endurance races for the senior categories.

With 12 laps for the C’s, a 10K (18 laps) race for the B’s and a whopping 10 miles (that’s 27 laps) for the A’s we will see if the usual pecking order is shaken up by the demands of a longer stint in the saddle.

So wait no longer, get your entry in here before it’s too late!
