Scheme for Support of Open TT & Race Riders

bike racers cutmillWe are putting together a scheme to reward those that are taking part in open TTs and in racing. In the longer term, rewards for the current season will be based on the result for the previous season. However to get things started, we are making an up-front offer.

Where riders commit by the end of April in each year (but this year by May 15th as we're late to get things going!) to either 

  • Riding in 6 open TT events
  • Riding in 6 race events

 the club will refund either (for TTs), half the cost of entry and for road races, half the cost of a BC licence or Surrey League membership fees. In the first year, the maximum amount claimable for TT riders is £50. Note that the committment has to be made by April or May, but the rides can be done anytime during the year (before or after the committment).

Riders that intend to apply, should advise Bob that they intend to take part and then submit evidence to Dick of participation and cost once they have done the 6 events. Riders should be 'of good standing' - that is to say they have to be paid up members and met membership requirements. They should also compete in club kit.

We plan a wider scheme to reward competitors and helpers next year.

Thanks to Nigel for his first course yesterday, and thanks to David for taking some good pictures that are in the gallery now. Let Bob know if you want high res versions.

ps Nigel showed us how to mount and dismount on the fly. With practice, we might get as quick as this!
