This is the place for discussion
about the 7th round of the 2018 BHPC races on the cycle circuit at Yarborough
Leisure centre, in Lincoln:
We have the track booked from 11-3pm, so sign-on will start at 10am.
First and foremost we
need volunteers to help organise. Please post on here and/or let me know if you
are willing to help out and I will send you some info on what needs doing (its not as complicated/arduous as it looks)... |

Hello All, lets talk Race Formats!
Does anyone have a suggested race format that would work well here? Before any masochists suggest a 24 hour race, keep in mind we only have the venue from 11am to 3pm. So we could for example do two 40minute races in either direction: 11am 40mins + 1 lap 1st Slower Race Clockwise 12pm 40mins + 1 lap 1st Fast Race Clockwise 1pm 40mins + 1 lap 2nd Slower Race Anticlockwise 2pm 40mins + 1 lap 2nd Fast Race Anticlockwise This timing lends itself to a light lunch munch between races but maximises riding time. Another option could be to go for a 1 hour race and a 15 minute race - good prep for the Worlds! 11am 1hour + 1 lap 1st Slower Race Clockwise 12:30pm 1hour + 1 lap 1st Fast Race Clockwise 2pm 15mins + 1 lap 2nd Slower Race Anticlockwise 2:30pm 15mins + 1 lap 2nd Fast Race Anticlockwise I am not familiar with this track, so a couple of questions to anyone who is: Does anyone know if this track is wide enough to comfortably accomodate everyone in the same race or is it one of those narrow squiggly circuits where lots of overtaking and being overtaken can feel somewhat precarious? Is this track good in both directions? Does it have more than one circuit configuration (cut throughs etc)? |

Ride on!

As the track is unknown to us we will make a final decision on the day of the race format.
Provisionally we are thinking: 11am 1hour 20min slow 1pm 1hour 20min fast |

Ride on!

If it's the strip around the football pitch and running track it looks about 10' wide on google street view. I can't find any photos of anyone cycling on it though, or at the leisure centre at all so it's hard to tell if I have the right location.
