Problems With Youth Racing - Please Read

It appears that whilst the Imperial Winter Series for adults starts on 5/12/09 the sister Youth Series is not commencing until 9/1/10. Therefore there will be no racing for youth at Hillingdon until after christmas.

There is a race at Hogg Hill on 5/12/09 (£4.50 for U8,U10,U12 and £5.50 for U14 & U16) and my lot will be going there but this is it for Youth Road Racing in 2009. There is also the option of Mountain Bike racing at Thetford on 6/12/09 but at £25 I think the entry fee is a bit steep.

Apologies for any confusion. I was basing my plans on what happened last year when the Youth races were announced a long time after the adult series. I think the parents of those children interested in racing should get together one evening to discuss aspirations for 2010. Any interest??

    Thanks for the update Richard. We may struggle on 5th as we are going to Manchester on the 6th. Happy to get together to have a chat about the 2010 racing - will be at the meeting on 13th so can catch up there.

    Hi,

    Don't forget there is plenty of cyclo-cross between now and Christmas. A mountain bike is fine, entry fees are low and most events don't involve too much travelling. I am at most events so can provide advice and take youth riders round for a practice lap.

    Cyclo-Cross is great fun and a great way of developing bike handling skills. Parents can have a go as well, there are always novice riders tackling the events.

    Next weekend (Saturday) is a bit of a trek to Redgrave near Diss, but the course involves plenty of road (closed public road) for those who want some tarmac under their wheels.

    Mark.
