GROUP SELECTION
Groups will be run on an honesty policy – please enter the group you believe you will be most suited to. We reserve the right to move riders up or down groups if required.
Youth A riders with sufficient track racing experience and valid indoor accreditation are permitted to race in any of the below categories.
Our track league groups are based on a rider’s fitness levels and experience of racing on an indoor track.
Anyone embarking on their first season of track racing will start in the C, regardless of their racing licence category or road racing experience.
Open C Endurance
Ideal for riders with less experience and fitness levels suited to a slower pace and shorter distances (7.5km – 10km).
Open B Endurance
Riders in this group have participated in competitive events regularly and/or have been promoted from Group C based on performance. Race distances tend to be 10km and above.
COMPULSORY REQUIREMENTS
For all open and league events, a fully completed UK Indoor Track Accreditation (for Newport, Glasgow, Derby, Manchester or Lee Valley) is required and this should be listed on your racing license. Riders competing in the national squad or professional trade teams may be accepted by exception.
Previous track racing experience is essential. All equipment must be compliant with current British Cycling technical regulations and venue terms & conditions.
The use of Hire Bikes (or unauthorised use of any equipment belonging to the venue) is not permitted in our Road or Track events.
MEMBERSHIP & LICENSING
All riders must have a full racing license, valid for the current year. We do not accept provisional or day licences. Racing licences need to include your emergency contact details on the back.
All racing licences expire on 31st December and may not be renewed automatically. It is your responsibility to ensure you have a current licence
NEW RIDERS
In addition to successfully completing a full, UK Indoor Track Accreditation, anyone intending to participate in the Track League for the first time will need to develop their experience/skills sufficiently for racing prior to registering. Bridging the gap between accreditation and racing on the track is essential for racing confidently and safely. Lee Valley offers a number of skills training sessions and we recommend attending as many of these as possible.
New riders are encouraged to come and spectate and/or volunteer to help if they want to get a clearer idea of what is involved.
