The Go-Ride Racing winter offer is back, providing Go-Ride Clubs with prizes, extra resources and the chance to enter some new and exciting closed circuit race events.

Open to clubs hosting events between 1 October 2015 and 31 March 2016, the offer will help you get kitted out for an action-packed season.

The winter months provide lots of opportunities for clubs to come together and race, with seasonal themes such as Halloween, Bonfire night and the festivities of Christmas. This year, the offer comes in two parts to give clubs all they need to hold a race series, while also including exciting events to look forward to once spring is upon us.

Prizes and resources

Year-round, clubs delivering series of two, four or six Go-Ride Racing events qualify for bespoke prizes – and there are even more available if the series includes a girls-only race. For the winter season, the prizes packages will include full fingered cycling gloves to help riders tackle the colder conditions.

In support of clubs making Go-Ride Racing part of their winter schedule of activities, British Cycling is also offering a set of 40 red or blue bibs at a discounted price:

• £25 for clubs delivering up to three events
• FREE for clubs delivering four or more events

Go-Ride Circuit Racing Events

Go-Ride Clubs participating in the offer are invited to enter new and exciting closed circuit Go-Ride Racing events in April 2016. The two meets will feature expert coaching from Go-Ride Coaches, before giving Go-Ride racers a chance to ride together and compete as a team alongside other clubs.

To really challenge the riders and so that they experience something new, the day will consist of:

• a skills zone – to test technical ability and decision making, while riders accumulate points that will go toward the overall club result on the day
• circuit racing – races for girls and boys on the main circuit, plus a club team relay.

This fantastic opportunity is open to riders under the age of 12 who are British Cycling members. Go-Ride Clubs participating in the offer are invited to enter a team of six riders and teams must include at least two girls.
