Chivenor circuit races

This year Guerciotti-jjcoach.com are proud to anounce that they will be hosting three circuit races at Chivenor airfield in North Devon.
Road Racing beginners usually find their feet in easier events and there's no better place to start than Circuit Race meetings. The events at Chivenor on Wednesday 15th July, Wednesday 29th July and Wednesday 12th August 2009 have several evening races catering for a range of abilities and age groups and are an ideal environment in which to learn the bike handling and tactical skills necessary to succeed, without the additional stress of being on the public highway. Lap distance is short, so if you get dropped, catch your breath and wait for the main group to come round, and join again! A British Cycling membership and Licence are usually needed for most events.

In addition to the circuit races at Chivenor the club is also organising two open time trials that will take place in the summer. The first a ten mile event takes place on the S40/10 using the A30 near Okehamptonon the 8th July. This is a super fast course that has a course record of under twenty minutes which is more than 30mph. On August 16th we are organising a 50 mile event on the S4/50 using the A38 near Ashburton. These are individual races where the rider races against the clock, known as the "Race of Truth". These events are for the more experienced rider, but if you feel that you are ready for the challenge but want some advice please contact Nick Harwood at Nick@guerciotti-jjcoach.com
