BRITISH CYCLING NATIONAL MASTERS TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS

We are significantly changing the track centre layout. The next change will be sure to cause some discussion, but if you read fully and understand what we are trying to achieve, hopefully all will be clear and for those that do not want any change, that is easily achievable.

The rider pen layout will be similar to before, but there will now be two options. There will be a general open plan pen layout where as before you can lock and leave your kit overnight, as always at your own risk. A change for this year will be the option to purchase a premium pen. The premium pens will feature access to power and be located closer to the entrance and track gate. Any riders using the general pens accept that although you can lock your equipment in that pen, if you are not occupying that pen, other riders are welcome to set up in that pen for their event. Premium pens are only to be occupied by those riders that have purchased them. For the sake of clarity, there will still be plenty of free to use pens as before, we are trialling this system in anticipation of hosting a larger event where the space is usually at a premium and frustration over large pens being taken over and then empty for much of the competition time. The cost for a premium pen is just £5 per rider per day, To reserve your premium pen click HERE

To keep the racing moving and limit track down time, we will be presenting morning session medals during the lunch break and afternoon session medals in the evening once racing has finished. 

In previous years lunch and evening meal options have been very limited with no on site catering and so for 2024 we will be bringing in outside catering companies to combat this. During the day Marks Kitchen will be providing baguettes, wraps, salads & pasta bowls and in the evening will be hosting a pasta party.  

We are trying to create more of a social atmosphere after racing where everyone can catch up and chat outside the pressure of racing in our rider lounge. 

Options will be available to purchase on the day, however these will be limited. Pre-order to avoid disappointment!

Chlo’s Coffee Tuk will also be providing excellent barista style coffees as well as a selection of home made cakes and snacks.

Lorna of LT Sports Massage will be attending he event. To book your pre or post race sports massage please email lornae1@outlook.com. Lorna will also be taking bookings on the day.

We are trying to create more of a social atmosphere after racing where everyone can catch up and chat outside of the pressure of racing, we are currently negotiating with various specialist retailers to use the track time in the evening for some testing, this may be try before you buy equipment testing, aero testing or clothing testing, as soon as we have these plans finalised along with any booking procedures we will update those here. The far end of the track will  be having a rider lounge area where you can chill out and catch up with friends while watching the racing in comfort. This area will double as the presentation and dining area.
