Surry league race training sessions

[Ian Bray]

Anyone new to racing like me will need to complete two training sessions to be eligible to race in cat 4 surrey league races. This is the perfect time to complete the training in preparation for racing in the 2016 season. I aim to complete my last session on 14th November in Ardingly but it needs at least 20 riders so please sign up...

Great post Ian; just what's needed.

Do the 2 training sessions need to be taken at the same place, or can you "mix and match'?

[Steve Rigby]

Ed
I did my two sessions early this year, didn't need to be same venue
The two sessions were pretty much identical, and combine people on both 1/2 sessions, however on the first session it was riding and theory then on the second session we stayed out riding without the theory

[Ian Bray]

Ed, you can complete the course at different places.

I aim to do my last one on Saturday 14th November if enough people are registered. Currently the event is showing 13 people excluding myself (I have a differed place). Hopefully some more people will sign up

[Ed209]

Thanks guys.

I'm going to see if I can get in on that Hillingdon one this Sunday. Is that Hillingdon in Uxbridge?

[Ed209]

I sent an email yesterday to the address above ref the 8th Nov- nothing yet.

Completed both of mine at ardingly earlier on this year, done by PB coaching, entries through riderHQ, all seemed very organised compared to this?

On a related note, will anyone be racing in any of the winter series? Would be nice to have a few familiar faces around. The imperial series at Hillingdon has sold out of 4th cat places almost immediately, might try cyclopark

[Ian Bray]

Ed, hopefully this training session on Saturday goes ahead, convince Chris & Diana to do it... Paul still needs 5 more riders to sign up

Mark, I would be interested in these winter series. I will look into it, would be nice to get enough points to start as cat3 next year...

[Ed209]

Looks like it's just me. Is this still going ahead Ian?

[Ian Bray]

Ed,

Yes its on, I spoke to Paul yesterday and he said

'Saturday is definitely going ahead as it's the last one we're putting on regardless so see you there '

Due to the weather I was going to drive down, do you want a lift?

Ian

Guys where are the details of the winter series you mentioned?

Imperial winter series at Hillingdon:

But these all seem to sell out of 4th cat places almost immediately



There is one race at the cyclopark on the 28th November that is much less busy:

But even though it says winter series, there only seems to be one race..



At Lee Valley they have this:

They are 3/4 races rather than just 4th cat and seem to be pretty busy, but I have heard that it is easier to get a ride there than Hillingdon, even if it is more difficult to get to

I've signed up to the imperial race league £5 and have booked the 4th cat race on Saturday 16th Jan at Hillingdon.
