It's Lea Valley's 50th anniversary so we've decided to put on our first open crit race!! We're going to have bells and music and a cheery attitude to make it as fun as possible! So don't be scared; if you've never raced before ask yourself these questions;

1. Can you ride a bike?

2. Can you ride a bike around a track for 60 minutes?

3. Do you want to meet other people and have an awesome day?

Then book your place!

We know it's the Rapha Women's 100km Ride the same day but what could be more fun than going around a track en masse with other women? To support out event Rapha have kindly donated 3 pairs of Womens 100 socks as prizes!! Thank you Rapha!

Here at LVCC we are putting the emphasis on women this year so we are offering the following prize money: 

Women and Men overall winners: 

1st £50

2nd £30

3rd £25

4th £20

5th £15

4th cat winners (women only):

1st £20

2nd £15

3rd £10

Pizza prime sponsored by Yardsale Leytonstone 

Another (!) prime sponsored by Pretty Decent Beer Co *

After prize giving we are encouraging everyone to head to the Pretty Decent Beer Company in Wansted for food, beer and laughs. Racing is meant to be enjoyable and we want to get as many people involved as possible!

Entrants are encouraged to come early/stay late and watch and cheer on both races; bring cow bells, brings whilstles, or just a loud voice!

The boring but necessary details

Men's 3/4 cat race - 1300 start 

Women's 2/3/4 cat race - 1415 start

The usual format applies: 45 minutes of riding around the circuit interspersed with the Primes and then at the bell 5 laps as quick as you can

We are using transponders - if any are lost or taken away then we get charged £50 per transponder; LVCC cannot subsidise this cost so the penalty will be passed onto the rider

You'll need a racing license through BC but day licenses will be accepted

Minimum of 15 entrants required otherwise prize money will be re-calculated

*Beer prime only available to over 18s
