Youth Racing

Events

Youth events at Mallory Park Road Race League are run on Tuesday evenings from mid-April to mid-August. There are races for 5 age groups each evening, U8, U10, U12, U14 and U16. Additionally results are given separately for boys and girls

Riders score points in each race as follows

• Scratch Race, our basic race with 8,6,4,3,2 and 1 points for the first 6 riders at the finish
• Points race – sprints on designated laps, 5,3,2 and 1 points for the first 4 riders. The winner is the rider with most points and they get league points as for the scratch race
• Stage Race – For U10/12 and U14/16 age groups, a Time Trial and a Scratch Race. Stages are worth half points, the overall full points. The overall winner is calculated by the lowest combined finishing position. In the event of a tie, the scratch race result decides
• Time Trial – For U10/12 and U14/16, a chance to have a go at a longer time trial in a safe environment. U10/12 riders will be on the lower (flat) circuit, whilst U14/16 riders will be on the full circuit featuring the climb up to Gerrards. Same points tariff as Scratch Race. Ideal preparation for the Assen Youth Tour.
• Double League points for 3 events
• Bonus sprints qualifying for league points in 2 events. A single sprint with 5,3,2 and 1 points for the first 4 riders

Note that BC points are only available for U14 and U16 riders, in line with BC policy, and for stage races its the overall that counts for BC

All events, with the exception of the last event, are run under British Cycling rules and may be seen on the BC website by clicking on the link in the sidebar.

Note that we only do entry on the line.
