We’re calling out for helpers for this year’s event. Again, there’s lots to do to make great racing happen – and not just help on the race days but on the Thursday and Friday venue setup too. So could you help the team at all? We’re splitting things into ‘shifts’ and you will be catered […]
Gluttons for punishment, we’re back in early season again later this year, this time as Round 2 of the HSBC British Cycling National Trophy. 2021 may well be starting out just as complicated as 2020, but we’re all hoping that it may be a ‘more traditional’ event, compared to the only round we ran in […]
We have a mountain to climb. We’re well past base camp and on the way up that mountain. In fact, the breathing apparatus is close to being used. Okay it’s probably not going to work to carry on with the mountain to climb analogy. But there’s lots to do and this year especially more to […]
You’ll be hearing lots from us about the things we need to change to make our event work. This simple graphic is DEFINITELY worth committing to memory. It’s all very good sense and – for all our sakes – please, please follow it.
British Cycling announced a few moments ago that we’re back on for 2020! This is great news for everyone involved in putting on last year’s event, and a glowing endorsement of the success thanks to all the helpers and supporters involved in the October 2019 races. Seconds away … Round 1 The 2020 event will […]
This year’s event for V40 males will incorporate the Paul Savage memorial trophy, which will be awarded to the first rider in the male v40 race. The inaugural trophy was awarded last year at the league event held at the same venue, by WHEELBASE. Paul, who sadly died in 2018 was a great friend […]
We’re incredibly lucky to have a really flexible and adaptable venue here at the Westmorland County Showground. One of the BIG benefits of such a place is that we have the room to put on a Go RIDE event for newcomers and young riders, who aren’t in the zone (yet!) to enter the National Trophy. […]
Following previous success at The World Masters Cyclocross Events supporting rider’s warming up with neutral support before races, Feedback Sports are supporting the organisers and community of the National Trophy Cyclocross Series at Westmorland County Showground, and indeed the rest of the series, plus the National Championship this season. Using their revolutionary Omnium Trainer as […]
The risk assessment’s first edition is in the bag, the discussions have been had, and pre-rides have been ‘enjoyed’. We have a belter of a course with some things that will suit everyone and some things that everyone will detest. (Perfect. Welcome to cyclocross). It’s a fantastic course for spectators, too. From the Pits and […]
Moving 350 crowd barriers into place and back again doesn’t just happen. The course specification and guidelines for an event of this level are, as most of you will know, a bit more thorough than they may be for smaller league cyclocross events. As part of that requirement, when you get down to the nitty […]
