Last topic on this forum possibly(new one on the way). Road Racing in North Wales

[Johan Hirlandt]

As you're aware, there is currently a lack of opportunity for road racing in North Wales and as a result of this, a handful of clubs and individuals are eager to set up a mini road race league in North Wales next year.

The ball has begun rolling! A 9 mile loop by Denbigh has been identified (used for many other races in the past) and so the next step will be to find out which clubs want to be invovled in its organisation. The loop has been chosen due to the course previously been risk assessed and also the low amount of marshalls required. The league will provide the perfect opportunity for new race organisers to gain experience in organising a road race and having the confidence to organise a race in their own area the following season.

There is a competition commission meeting coming up on the 16th of October at Glasdir, Llanrwst (see email below). The road series will have its own slot on the agenda and I urge clubs and individuals to make every effort to attend should they wish to be a part of the league; through clubs coming together and working as a team, I am confident that we can get road racing back on our roads once again.

Should you wish to attend, please could you let me know by Monday 13th of October. If you cannot make the meeting but would still like to help out and be invovled, please let me know. You might also have retired racers in your club that would be eager to get involved again, please feel free to share this information with them.

Kind regards
