Though we’ve had basically no racing this year the constitution requires us to hold an AGM. This will be held at 5pm on Sunday October 18th.

As there are no awards or prizes to give out we have decided to forego trying to hold a public AGM in person which would meet current covid requirements and will instead be holding the event online.

Anyone who wishes to attend will be able to join online (provider to be decided, but probably Zoom) and will be able to vote and ask questions as usual. We will send out another post once the details are confirmed.

An agenda will be kept updated at this link. If you have any points to raise please email committee@scrl.co.uk before Wednesday 14th October.

Long story short, there isn’t any this year. Sorry. For a bit more detail, read on.

British Cycling will sanction racing at regional level from August 1st, but with restrictions on race numbers, race duration, venue and of course distancing and hygiene procedures.

This would have given us three weeks of our league left.

The committee met last night to discuss the requirements and how we could best implement them.

It soon became apparent that we could not possibly organise all that was required by next Wednesday.

This would leave us with two weeks of our regular racing.

As we worked through the document and realised that more and more work would need to be done, online capabilities for entry set up, equipment obtained, extra procedures to do every week etc. it soon became apparent that the effort far outweighed the benefit for just two weeks of racing. Especially when it was considered that those two weeks are usually the quietest.

It was therefore a unanimous decision to not proceed with the remaining weeks of this years track league.

Depending on the situation come September we will reconvene and consider the possibility of running some circuit races under whatever the restrictions are at that time.

In the meantime there are time trials already running for those of you who need to pin a number on, or maybe now is the time to go and explore the downs, or take that touring holiday you always wanted to.

Stay well, keep riding, see you soon.

And the news isn’t good.

British Cycling have released a statement, here, to say that the suspension of sanctioned activities will now be extended to the 30th of June.

This of course loses us a big chunk of track league leaving us with just seven weeks, plus only the last two of our summer circuit series. None of the Friday vets/women league will take place, and none of the accreditation sessions are now intended to go ahead this season.

If we hear of any more news about the BC Zwift race series being extended we will pass this on. Perhaps we can even arrange a few online ride-outs of our own.

Please keep yourselves safe and well, and heed the current advice around exercising but avoiding group riding.

See you all soon.

SCRL Committee

British Cycling have today announced a full set of three-days-a-week Zwift activities with racing, training and time trialling all on the menu.

BC members get Zwift at the reduced rate of £12 a month. You can cancel any time so even if it’s just for the duration it shouldn’t cost too much.

Click here to find out more on the BC site.

As per the British Cycling press release today (17th March 2020) all BC sanctioned events until and including April 30th are cancelled. This means the last two races of the winter circuit series will not go ahead.

We ask those who have pre-entered events within this time frame to please be patient as BC will be cancelling the events their end and informing organisers of the refund process in due course.

It is undecided whether the SCRL accreditation sessions will still go ahead. We will issue further communications at the appropriate time.

The official BC statement can be read here.

Riders who signed up on the day may be missing from these results at the moment. We will have this information to hand and updated in the next day or two.

Winter Circuits #4

Covid-19/Coronavirus Advice

Many of you may be wondering if the current Covid-19/Coronavirus will be affecting the racing.

In line with current advice and also with advice from British Cycling it is not necessary to cancel any racing at the current time.

You should of course continue to take any normal precautions as per the advice regarding self-isolation etc.

Volunteers

Looking fairly good on volunteers, but we have no-one available to judge, and we need at least two, preferably three.

Judges keep track of the race in respect to which riders have been lapped and how many times, as well as judging the finish order and controlling the i-pads to record the finish. They then agree the provisional results for each race.

Remember volunteers get a free drink from Coops Coffee! And we might just bring some snacks along too……

If you can help add yourself to the spreadsheet or contact the volunteer co-ordinator with your details and which races you can help with.

If the slots are filled and you can spare the time please add your name under one of the “Backup” slots otherwise if someone falls ill or fails to turn up we are left short.

Track Accreditation

Track season is starting soon (April 15th) and there are three accreditation sessions on Wednesday 1st, Friday 3rd and Wednesday 8th April from 6pm onwards.

You can see all the details about our accreditation process here.

Riders already accredited and paid up and registered for the 2020 season can ride for free but must use and leave the track at the direction of the coach running the accreditation session.

We are also planning to make league registration available on the same days.

If you can pre-register on the form here it will help us with knowing expected numbers on the day but you can still just turn up.

Track League Registration

Also remember you can register for the league here and we will have a pre-printed form for you to sign at the velodrome.

Remember senior registration has increased to £10 this year. Youth, junior and concessions remain the same at £5.

What it says on the tin. If we can’t cover all of the races for this Sunday (1st March) , none of them can go ahead.

We could also use a couple more judges/ipad operators.

By close of entries Friday is the deadline.

As usual email volunteering@scrl.co.uk if you can offer first aid cover. Nothing special is required, just first aid training.

Thank You.
