How the League Works

The League is run over 18 consecutive weeks in the summer from early April to mid August (see the calendar for actual dates each season).

Since the racing is on fixed wheel bikes, there is no racing if it is raining or the track is damp from earlier rain.

Each evening there are a number of different races for each entry category.

The programme varies from week to week (see the events calendar) so the racing remains varied and interesting.  

The evenings typically start with a scratch race for each of the league categories and end with a distance race for the seniors.  In between there is a variable mix (see Types of Races).

Riders acquire league points for being placed in races and at the end of the season the riders with the most points win the prizes.
