45 Road Club

Northants Cycle Racing Association 2012

 

At the 2011 annual general meeting it was decided that membership for 2012 would only be open to clubs offering to organise events. The following clubs indicated at the AGM that they were willing to organize events :-

Entry to races is therefore only open to members of those ten clubs.

1st, 2nd , 3rd and 4th category riders (which includes women and juniors) are eligible to ride.

 

Race entry procedure:

Each member club has an ‘NCRA club captain’

These are:

Rockingham Forest Wheelers – Vic Davis
St Ives CC - Tom Caldwell

45 RC - Alastair Shed

Renault Rotor Colbert RT - Dave Palmer

Kettering CC - John Hardwick

Fenland Clarion CC - Steve Clarke

Numplumz Mountain Bikers - Bob Mitchell

Loughborough Students CC - Alex Burrage

Peterborough CC - Ian Wild

Welland Valley CC - Ray Taylor

 

Each club has 4 automatic places for each of the three series for each race it promotes, so Fenland Clarion CC, Kettering CC, Peterborough CC, Rockingham Forest Wheelers and Welland Valley CC all have 8 places for each series, while Loughborough Students CC, Numplumz Mountain Bikers, Renault Rotor Colbert RT, St Ives CC and 45RC all have 4 places for each series.

If a club doesn’t take up its full allocation of places, those places will be shared between the clubs which have more applicants than places. This process will be the responsibility of the series organizer, chairman and handicapper with recommendations from the relevant club captains.

 

Send your BC entry form for each series, with a cheque for £60 to NCRA (or cash), to your club captain, to arrive at least 4 weeks before the start of the series you want to enter.

The final allocation of places will be decided jointly by the series coordinator, the NCRA chairman and the handicapper, following the recommendations of each club captain.

 

For further details please contact Alister Shed or Phil Garlick

The closing date for entries is next Friday 27th January

For the event on March 24th which 45RC will be organising we will be looking for Marshalls and other helpers to ensure that we do a good job on the day.  We will have good riders in these handicap rides and they need your support.
