TRACK RACING RETURNS TO PRESTON PARK!

We are delighted to announce that Preston Park Bike Track is once again a British Cycling accredited race venue.  With no time to waste, a new track league series promoted by Sussex Cycle Race League (SCRL) will start on Wednesday 18th May 2016 at 6.45pm and then every Wednesday through to mid August.

WARM UP & REGISTRATION SESSION

For those who have raced the SCRL Wednesday night series in previous years, a warm up and registration session will be held at the track on Wednesday 11th May from 6.30 – 8.00pm.

RACING TRACK OR PRESTON PARK CIRCUIT FOR THE FIRST TIME?

For those wishing to participate in the Wednesday track league for the first time, new riders are very welcome and SCRL will run be running a number of accreditation sessions at the track, starting on Friday 13th May at 6pm. This will give riders the opportunity to ask questions, learn the essential rules, skills and etiquette of track racing as well as promote a safer race environment.

Bike rental: a limited number of bikes will be available to rent for the sessions.

This actually applies to any rider who has not raced fixed wheel before so anyone riding in the Under 10 in 2014 who has now moved up to under 12 and fixed wheel will need to have been accredited.

Registration

This year the registration fee is £5 as you will need to sign a registration form.  For anyone that raced in 2014 or 2013 we will have a printed copy of your form available at the track.  All you will have to do is check it, make any updates then sign (and pay the fee of course).  Otherwise you will have to complete a form at the track or complete your membership details here.
