Yes, this really is the shortest race of the year
two stages less than 30 seconds and less than 1.00
minute.
How on earth can you possibly get tired in such a
short time?
The annual Club Roller Racing Championships
will be on Thursday 27th January in
the main hall at Aldersley Leisure Village
7.00 to 9.00 pm. We will be setting up from
6.30 pm.
Open to all ages and abilities from U/10's to
Veterans. Last year saw an excellent turn out with
many Ladies and youth riders taking part. Don't
worry if you have not done this before....
You are allowed two
holders to assist and the two rides are
very short!
Youth (ABCD) cover 250M
from a flying start and 500M from a standing start.
Junior, Senior & Veterans cover
500M from a flying start and 1,000M from a standing
start.
The time for each distance is added to give a total
to decide the winner.
Two riders compete at a time on competition rollers
which are connected to individual pointers on a
large display board - 'Simples'.
Bring your own bike - Helmets not required or even
recommended - this is all indoors, in the dry and
very warm!
Maximum Gear for Junior,
Senior & Veterans is 52 tooth Chainring x
13 tooth sprocket (i.e. 4:1).
Should you not have a 52 tooth Chainring
then 53 x 14 tooth sprocket must be used.
Maximum Gear for Youth riders is 52 or
53 tooth Chainring x 14 tooth sprocket or
equivalent.
NB. Lower gears are recommended as this
is the Maximum.
Gear checks will be conducted before and after
the event.
Come along and enjoy the fun, Roller Racing is a
great spectator event!
