Circuit Racing at Norwich Airport

There is room for more riders in all categories in the criteriums at Norwich Airport Park & Ride.

The 600 yard circuit is proving excellent – it is good for riders new to road racing because it’s eight corners every 60-70 seconds are an education, and it’s good for top riders because the strong and the skilful don’t find lesser rivals hanging on for long.

The main races are in the afternoon, so it is possible to race elsewhere in the morning if you wish – five entrants last Sunday had also taken part in the Mid-Suffolk Road Race earlier in the day.

Norwich Airport Park & Ride is off the A140 Cromer Road, 3 miles north of Norwich city centre. National Grid Ref is TG213130 , postcode for satnavs: NR6 6JT There are toilets and refreshments right close to the start/finish.

For those who don’t have a racing licence, day licences are available, and anyway are not needed for the 1pm Go-Race for novices and come-back men. The crits are subsidised by the local authority as part of the run-up to the visit of the Tour of Britain, so this is mass-start racing about as cheap as it can be.

There are three more days of racing – Sundays 22nd August, 5th and 12th September. All the details are on a separate page at the Lotus Cars Cycle Race League website www.lotuscycleracing.org or phone Ken Jolliffe 01953 681755 or here.

Coaching at the Airport for Young Rider

Before the racing there are morning coaching sessions for young riders (age 8-16) from 9:30 – 11:30. All you need is a bike, a helmet and a signed registration form – or a parent with a pen. Russell Parkins (01603 490837) has the details
