I hope you are well and keeping safe during this troublesome time. As regards the Surrey League, not much has happened since we last spoke due to the complete shutdown of racing until, at least, 1 August.  Recently, British Cycling has introduced ‘The Way Forward‘ which outlines a pathway for the return of sanctioned cycling activity, as well as detail on an immediate return for club, coaching, and group activity in England. Within this 29-page pdf document, it also details a 6 stage model of reintroducing all cycling activity including competitive and non-competitive racing.
Complete and larger image available Currently, all sanctioned BC events have been cancelled until 1 August. After this date, we are assuming racing can go ahead (stage 5 and 6 on their plan) but still adhering to some COVID-19 protocols. If racing is allowed then we have 13 events remaining for you to enter, but all this is completely uncertain at the moment and can change at short notice.  If racing is granted then we expect to see a surge in riders entering the remaining races so to see what racing is available from August, please visit our website page for Weekend Racing Looking back – ‘On This Day’Over the past few months, Glyn has been publishing a series of photographs from a time when racing was in abundance. Hopefully, August will see racing resuming once again in the UK, but until then take a look back at past events.
‘Lucky Dip’ Rouleur Handicap RacingDue to the new sanctioned suspension date, all the Rouleur Handicap series have been cancelled. With this in mind, and after speaking with the guys at Rouleur, it has been decided that the prizes for all the events will still be awarded.  So all 1st, 2nd, and 3rd cat riders, both junior and men, who have joined the Surrey League for 2020 will have their names placed into a musette, and every Thursday evening a name will be drawn revealing the evening’s ‘Lucky Dip’ race winner. So far the winners have been;
The prize is a ticket to the Rouleur Classic show which is held at Victoria House in London during the first week of November. Obviously this is subject to any social distancing that may/may not be in place at that time. ‘Lucky Dip’ Dunsfold Park RacingEach Friday, all 4th cat and Women riders who joined the league for 2020, will have their names placed into two separate musettes and 10 names (starting with 10th place) will be drawn out for each series. We will then allocate Surrey League points to the top ten results ending with an overall for each series. Prizes will be awarded and sent to the winners of each race for all 12 events.  The winners so far are:
Please note that it’s only one prize per person so if a person is drawn a second time, their position will stand, but the prize will move to the 2nd placed rider of that event.
