TRACK LEAGUE 2024/2025
INFO COMING SOON
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 BC 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
Silver or Gold British Cycling Membership is required and riders must have a FULL RACING LICENCE, valid for the current year. We do not accept Provisional or Day Licences. Racing licences need to include your signature and emergency contact details on the back. Photo ID is also required.
Licences expire on 31st December and may not renew automatically. It is your responsibility to ensure you have a current licence
PREREQUISITES FOR 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 (at least 10hrs of SQT or race training).
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.
Further information on Track Cycling can be found on the Track Cycling page of the British Cycling website.
