SE Notice Board

Riders: Hands on Handlebars Please

Many riders will be watching the Pro/Senior races either via the internet or television, but we would like to remind all riders to keep both hands on the bars.

Regretfully there are a number of riders who frequently compete in bunch races using positions where their hands were not in contact with the handlebars.

All riders are reminded that this practice can be deemed unsafe and any rider seen competing in such a manner in any road/track event in the UK may be subject to some form of disciplinary action under the powers of the Chief Commissaire.

Training Races

It has been brought to our attention that some clubs within the Region are using training sessions as mock races.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of racing, it is extremely important to note that such events will NOT be covered under BC insurance, and the "organiser" of such could find themselves in court with a hefty bill should something go wrong.

Whilst there is nothing wrong with training groups etc, having any facilities such as a lap board, finish flag, bell etc and providing a "result" will all be likely deemed a race. If in doubt, please contact BC.

Regional News. It is our aim, and others, to help promote the sport of cycling by placing up (on this page) regional news about events, be it racing or non racing, on our website for others to read. Race Radio's BC have decided to use a system of personal communication for races that will supersede the older CB radios that are in use at many events. It is likely that there will be an opportunity for clubs to purchase such units from BC at a substantial discount to retail prices. The in car units will cost around £300 and will come ready programmed with BC frequencies and their use covered by the BC licence. If your club is likely to be interested, then please reply to this email with your intentions. The hand held radios offer good coverage and can be equipped to be used in a car with external aerial, microphone and 12v adapter. These units are approximately £75-£100 and can be purchased from retail outlets such as Maplins - (Mitex General for example).
