June 2022 sees the return of Thursday evening MK Bowl races run on a similar basis as before but with the added benefit of chip timing to help with placing riders.  Details of entry and timing chip allocation are shown in rider information.   

This will be a league series with the racing format as follows:

Men’s 4ths and Women’s races running 1 min apart concurrently on the inner Bowl course starting at 6pm followed by Men's 3/4ths and E123 races on the extended east car park course (subject to weather conditions) running 1 minute apart concurrently starting at 7pm.  Local rules will apply and will be made clear via all communication formats.

Info for Riders

The organisers will use a chip timing system to aid finish placing and the system use is explained in more detail below.  All riders are advised to familiarise themselves with the instructions below as well as all the British Cycling and event rules. Online entry will close at 17:00 the day before the event so that chips and race numbers can be allocated to each rider. If you have missed the BC event entry you can still enter using the timing system page here https://my.raceresult.com/209254/registration Riders will retain the same race bib number for the series but timing chips must be handed back at each event as they are used again for other races.  Instructions will be given to ensure all chips are handed back after each race.

Parking - please follow all parking signs and instructions. Sign on will be at the Bowl Pavilion just inside the main entrance.  

Riders are accepted on a first come, first served basis. Day licenses will be accepted.

Timing Chips

• Timing chips will be issued when riders sign on
• Chips must be strapped to the rider’s left ankle
• During warm up riders should ride over the finish mat to ensure their chip signal is registering
• Riders that drop out during the race must return their chip to the finish line marshal immediately
• All riders must return their chips to the finish marshals at the end of the event.
