How To Enter
60 places per race, if you are already a British Cycling (B.C.) member with a full race license.
Beginners are very welcome so for B.C. members wanting to race that have a provisional license (a provisional racing licence is awarded automatically with all Race Bronze, Race Silver and Race Gold memberships.) you can either upgrade to a full race license or do the same as a non B.C. member (see below).
NON B.C. members will need a day license so please send an email with your title (Mr, Mrs, Ms etc) name, address, D.O.B. and the club you are entering as (if you are) to roadrace@seacroftwheelers.co.uk and the organiser will enter you manually into the race and arrange an alternative payment method for the £25 event fee and £10 day license.
A full race license for a senior (18 years old and above) is £40 so if you are planning on entering more than 4 races in the year then it will be more economical to purchase a full racing licence which may be bought as an addition to a Race Silver or Race Gold membership. More license info can be found here.
Please note: If you race on a day license you will NOT be eligible for any licence points or ranking points earned from that race.
Day license can also be purchased at sign on, cost is £10 to Bronze/Ride B.C. member and Non B.C. member and £5 for Gold or Silver B.C. member. ID/BC membership card will be required on the day if you don’t already have a race license. Race license will be handed in at sign on and returned after the event.
For the event to be successful we need a minimum number of riders across the event, if either race is under subscribed then we may need to cancel the event.
Obviously the hope is that this is not necessary but just an F.Y.I. and should this occur full refunds will be given providing the entries were before the closing date.
Closing date for advance entries midnight 2nd July 2022 (entry on day £30).
(no refunds possible after this date, reserves list available for both races, in the event of any rider withdrawing the reserves list will be notified and offered the option of entering in the date order they went on the reserves list).
**FREE RACE ENTRY for Seacroft members** The club will pay the entrance fee in to the race for all 2023 Seacroft 1st claim members, they still pay the day license fee of £10 (if required).
