Brighton Mitre are putting on their annual Hove Park Crits over three weekends in June and July. Normally the Youth As are allowed in with the Juniors but this year we are really pleased that they are opening up the race to both Youth As and Bs. This is an excellent opportunity for our members to race on ‘home soil’ so we hope lots of PPYCC members will enter. Strong youth numbers on the start line will increase the chance of youth racing staying on the bill at Hove Park in the future so let’s make it happen!
The race dates are Friday 27th June, Friday 11th July and Friday 25th July. Arrive 5.30 for 6pm start, more details including booking links are at https://www.brightonmitre.co.uk/hove-park-crits/
This is a great event on a technical course with both a fast downhill and a short climb on every lap (so very different to Preston Park Velodrome). To clarify, this is for Youth A (under 16) and Youth B (under 14), so for riders born in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 only. As the course is quite technical riders will need to be confident on the bike and in particular will need to remember what we have taught you about cornering! Gear restrictions will apply, as usual. We hope to see you on the start line 😁
