Welcome to the Crits at Turbine 53! 

Come join us for a fun evening of racing at Whitelee Wind Farm, less than 20miles south of Glasgow City Centre. 

Races will take in laps of a 4.44km gravel circuit, mixing off-road riding with the British criterium scene. No technical features, no ranking points, no race licence required - just fun racing for riders of any ability! Any type of bike goes, as long as it is safe and has two working brakes.

There are two ability based open groups and a female only group. If you're a regular racer already, whether it's on the road, MTB XC or Cyclocross, chances are group A will suit you best. If you've not raced before or your fitness isn't quite where you would like it to be, you might prefer group B. We will be checking back at results from last years editions and may politely suggest changes if we think people have been under-ambitious, otherwise the choice is yours!

The female race will compete over 3 laps (13.5km), B race over 4 laps (18km), A race over 5 laps (22.5km). Start times are indicative and may be adjusted depending on number of entries in each group. Any changes will be communicated via email to all online entrants in advance.

We are hoping for some good weather and invite you to join us for some post race bbq snacks.

Info for Riders

Bring a friend deal 

Buy one entry, get another half price for a friend who has not yet raced this year. Up to you how you sort the finances with your friend (maybe the next mid ride cafe stop is on them?). Everyone will be asked whether they wish to select a standard entry (£12) or the "Bring a friend deal" (£18). Ignore the additional question if you're coming solo, if you're bringing a first time racer with you input their name and contact details - we'll sort the rest!

See race route here: https://www.strava.com/routes/3077638440754780918 - we will be running in a clockwise direction for this event, so the opposite to how this route is plotted.

If you need to withdraw your entry at any point up until Sunday 23rd June 2024, refunds can be offered. We will consider refunds for exceptional circumstances after this date.
