Northants Cycle Racing Association

You are here: Home   Search

The Association’s aim is to encourage, promote and develop cycle racing in Northamptonshire and adjoining counties.

The current focus of the Association is to encourage road racing, with a particular emphasis on introducing riders to the sport.

We feel that the best way to introduce riders to road racing is through organising handicap races.

Entry Details

NCRA Series 2012: Please read the information below before entering for any of the series.

Race entry procedure
 
Each member club has an ‘NCRA club captain’:
 
Rockingham Forest Wheelers – Vic Davis
St Ives CC - Tom Caldwell
45 RC - Alastair Shed
Renault Rotor Colbert RT - Dave Palmer
Kettering CC - John Hardwick
Fenland Clarion CC - Steve Clarke
Numplumz Mountain Bikers - Bob Mitchell
Loughborough Students CC - Alex Burrage
Peterborough CC - Ian Wild
Welland Valley CC - Ray Taylor.
 
Each club has 4 automatic places for each of the three series for each race it promotes, so Fenland Clarion CC, Kettering CC, Peterborough CC, Rockingham Forest Wheelers and Welland Valley CC all have 8 places for each series, while Loughborough Students CC, Numplumz Mountain Bikers, Renault Rotor Colbert RT, St Ives CC and 45RC all have 4 places for each series.

If a club doesn’t take up its full allocation of places, those places will be shared between the clubs which have more applicants than places. This process will be the responsibility of the series organizer, chairman and handicapper with recommendations from the relevant club captains.

Send your BC entry form (available at www.britishcycling.org.uk/road/article/roadst_Entry-Forms) for each series, with a cheque for £60 to NCRA (or cash), to your club captain, to arrive at least 4 weeks before the start of the series you want to enter.

The final allocation of places will be decided jointly by the series coordinator, the NCRA chairman and the handicapper, following the recommendations of each club captain.
