Road Racing

Its time to dust off your bikes Arrow roadies! We have some great racing on locally this year with the season just getting underway.

After welcoming back Barnsfield last year it is back this year with a bang and lots of events on over the coming season run under the new Wessex Cycle Racing League.

We also have another great series of races at the Mountbatten Centre Portsmouth which host circuit races throughout the summer and very easy to get to for some fast and furious racing.

The TLI are running another popular road series through the summer as well over at Moreton on Thursday nights and also a series in the New Forest on some Tuesday evenings.

Check out the following websites for more info and dates etc.

Barnsfield Circuits :- www.entryweb.co.uk

Mountbatten Centre :- www.southbc.co.uk

If you are new to racing or fancy a go it can be a little confusing as to what each cycling body does event wise. Generally speaking there are three main racing bodies who run road race events for various categories :-

British Cycling :- Lots of events locally with beginner category right up to Elite level races. www.britishcycling.org.uk

TLI :- The League International - lots of events locally- great for getting experience of racing on the road and age related categories. www.theleagueinternational.com

LVRC :- Over 40 age related racing - not too many events in this area so need to travel more. www.lvrc.org
