Month: May 2023

Welcome to this week’s racing update. We want to remind riders that the weather forecast is indicating a high chance of rain, which could potentially impact the upcoming race. If the rain is too heavy and poses a risk to rider safety, we may have to call off the event. We will make a decision by around 16:00 today and keep everyone informed.

Additionally, we want to emphasize the importance of volunteering. To ensure that our league runs smoothly, we require every racer to volunteer for at least one week throughout the season. This ensures that everyone has a chance to contribute and help make our events successful.

There are many different volunteer roles available, from marshaling to registration, and we encourage riders to sign up for a slot that interests them. Volunteering is a great way to get involved and give back to the cycling community, while also meeting new people and gaining valuable experience.

So, if you haven’t yet volunteered, please consider signing up for a slot. And remember, we will make a decision about the race by around 16:00 today, depending on the weather conditions. Let’s work together to make SCRL a thriving community for cyclists of all levels and backgrounds.

Racing will start at 18:30 so please get to track around 18:00 to get yourselves set up and ready.

Welcome to the fourth week of SCRL Racing! This week is all about the championship scratch race, which promises to be an exciting event. However, with the possibility of rain, riders should keep this in mind and be prepared for wet conditions.

Last week, we saw a successful ladies’ week with great participation and high energy from all the riders. It was inspiring to see such enthusiasm and support for women’s cycling, and we hope to see this continue in the future.

However, it’s important to note that the SCRL league only runs with the help of volunteers. Without their commitment and dedication, we would not be able to continue providing opportunities for riders to race and improve their skills. So, we want to extend a huge thank you to all our volunteers who have made this league possible so far.

If you’re interested in getting involved and helping out, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We always need more volunteers to ensure that races run smoothly and safely. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just passionate about the sport, there are plenty of ways to get involved and make a difference.

In conclusion, we’re looking forward to another exciting week of racing, but we couldn’t do it without the support of our volunteers. Let’s continue to make SCRL a vibrant and inclusive community for cyclists of all levels and backgrounds.

We think we’ve finally got ourselves sorted and figured out that this week will indeed be week #3 (not last week) so hopefully that will be a bit less confusing from now on!

Ladies Night!

A reminder that this weeks is the first of our monthly (first Wednesday of every month) Ladies Night at the track, featuring a whole evening of women only races. Just enter your normal category, all points scored go towards your relevant league category total (just as if you had scored them in a non-women-only race).

We have also upgraded the women’s scratch race to a Regional C+ as well as the senior A, meaning licence points are on the table!

Entry

Entry now up on Rider HQ as usual, but if you couldn’t find it before we have now corrected the event date! Sorry about that!

Start

We are planning for an earlier start this week again, first race 6:30, sign on from 5:45 to 6:25.

Volunteer Positions

None of this will happen if we don’t fill the last couple of volunteer positions. A judge and a sign-on volunteer are still needed, as well as a few marshals. Go here to put your name down. In addition if someone (be they volunteering for something else or not) could perhaps be available to clear the arena and lock the gates at 6pm that would be most helpful.
