British Masters Cycle Racing - BMCR
CYCLOCROSS riders and fans, great news and announcement.

We have a cyclocross series up and running for this coming season.
It's been in the planning a long time and we can now offer a 4 round series with the final event to include the BMCR NATIONAL Championship as last year.

I'm hoping you will support this and help to build on it and potential organisers are welcome to come along and see and chat to me about next year.

So, all events will be on a Saturday so you can still race your local league events, and will also precede a local event at the same venue held on the following day.

Details will be on riderhq and the first round is listed.
Although an early start for that one the following 3 round will all be 1pm start time.

Round 1. Pittville Park, Cheltenham Saturday September 26th.
Round 2. Misterton Hall, Leicestershire. Saturday October 10th.
Round 3. Kilworth, Leicestershire. Saturday October 24th.
Round 4. Incorporating National Champs. Kilworth, Leicestershire. Saturday November 14th.
All events have a BC league race on the same course on the Sunday so you can "double up"

Overall prize pot for each category, see you all there.

🚨 CROSS COUNTRY RACE ALERT 🚨
Our first race is rolling up on 17th May at Walesby Forest 🌲 and yes… those juicy BC ranking points are up for grabs 👀

BUT… slight problem. Entries are currently lower than your tyre pressure after a dodgy line choice 😬

So here’s the deal: if we don’t hit 200 entries by Tuesday 5th May, I’m pulling the plug on ALL XC racing this summer. Yep. Gone. Vanished. Into the mud. 💀
Don’t be that rider who says “I was gonna enter…”
👉 Head over and get signed up NOW before I start replacing start lines with picnics instead. 🧺
