Circuit Racing – Getting Started:  Our circuit races are competitive events and are not suitable for beginners. All participants are required to have a FULL racing licence, Gold or Silver British Cycling Membership and fully compliant equipment (including clothing).

Race-Ready Skills Sessions:  Novice 4^th Category licence holders are strongly advised to attend the skills training sessions (either at Lee Valley or an alternative closed circuit venue) to assist in your race preparation.  They are designed to improve your racing confidence and to familiarise you with the skills required to participate safely.  There are also Pay & Ride sessions available for people who want to practice on the circuit.
