The Welwyn Petit-Tour, in it's second year, is organised by Kinetic Cycles and the Verulam Cycling Club. We're part of the exciting Tarmac Tour of Hertforshire Series across Sundays in June & July for 2016.

In addition, this event will form a round of the GB National Paralympic Road to Rio series.

Each event will include 8 hours of closed road town centre criterium racing starting with an open riding session 10:00 to 10:45. Racing starts at 10.45 and ends at 18:00. We have an exciting schedule of races across all ages and categories including Go Race novice, vets and womens races. There is a generous prize purse with primes in all races.

Folding Bike Club & Corporate Challenge - Teams of 3 can take part in the folding bike challenge which includes a le-mans style start and bike assembly. There will be a fleet of folding bikes from one of our partners on hand, so no need to own one. The only rules are that you need to come dressed for the office (top half at least!). Contact organiser for entries.

Elimination Races - The top 10 placed riders from the cat 4 mens, cat 2,3,4 womens, masters handicap & cat 2,3 mens are automatically entered into one of the elimination races.  Two race entries for the price of one!

Cycling Village - Bring the family as the festival also includes activities throughout the day, a fun cycling village plus beer and chips for that Belgian kermesse feel.
