Summer in the Park 2009
Team Darenth will be hosting a series of 6 races starting on Friday 1st May and finishing on Friday 5th June.
The races are being held in Dartford Central Park and will be on the
650 metre tarmac path around the park. Signing on opens 6.30pm and racing starts at 7pm sharp. This is a flat course.
Racing is open to riders in the following categories:
Under 8, Under 10 and Under 12.
The categories are based on your age on the 1st of January 2009.
Races are open to anyone within theses age categories and you don’t need to be a member of a team or club so invite your friends along too.
If you are not a member of British Cycling you will need to purchase a day licence at a cost of £1.50 per race.
Racing can be done on road or mountain bikes and helmets must be worn.
Points will be awarded for each race depending on finishing positions and trophies will be awarded to the overall series winners.
Best 5 scores count towards the final total.
Riders will need to have gears restricted to the British cycling limits for youth riders. These will be checked on the day and we can help you where necessary.
If you have never tried racing before, this is an ideal opportunity to have a go in a fun and friendly environment.
