Week 10 - we have made some changes
📍 Brighton Velodrome | 🕕 Sign-on: 18:00 | 🚦 Racing: 18:30 sharp
We’re rolling into Week 10 with a race schedule that blends group racing, variety, and full-gas efforts — and we’ve got some big updates to help bring new riders into the action!
🧠 New Race Format Structure
Following this week’s committee meeting, we’re putting bunch racing back at the centre of the league. The structure now looks like this:
Races 1 & 2 – Bunch Races
→ Formats like Scratch, Handicap, or Points Rampage
→ Focus: group racing, tight packs, race craftRace 3 – Wild Card Format
→ Rotating special races like Tempo, Snowball, or Marymoor CrawlRace 4 – Combined Bunch Race
→ Often features merged categories or all-in racing to close the night with a bang
This change helps keep racing fun, inclusive, and flowing smoothly for everyone.
🚴 New Rider Support – Free Bike Hire!
We’re keen to welcome more riders to the track — so from Week 10 onward, we’re offering:
✅ Free track bike hire for the rest of the season
✅ Option to log your preferred hire bike and reuse it weekly
✅ If you own a track bike and need to store it, we may be able to facilitate container storage — just speak to a volunteer at sign-on
No excuses now — if you’ve wanted to try track racing, this is your moment!
