RIDE AND RACE PLATE DAY

Come and join us for our first event of the season, a shuttle day at Fox Creek bike park.

As usual make sure you have already got your race insurance organized before coming to the caravan.

Your race plate will be handed out which you must attach to your bike so we can make sure everyone on transport is a paid member.

Most of our key volunteers will be at the caravan so if you are new to racing feel free to ask us any questions. The core volunteers are easily identified as they will either be in the caravan, or wearing committee club jerseys. (The same as the normal club jerseys but they have a gold band round them).

Sign in at the caravan will start at 9.15am, with shuttles going from from 10.00am to 4.00pm

We have a strict concussion policy which is simply "if in doubt, sit them out". If concussion is suspected, the rider will not be allowed back on track unless they have a letter from their doctor supporting their return to sport. Riders, mums and dads do not get a say in this decision.

Riders please take care of each other and if you see someone coming off heavily and landing on their head, either knocking themselves out or looking disorientated please take note of their number and chat to them to make sure they dont get back on the bike. Afterwards let someone know of their plate number (track marshals, photographers, caravan crew, transport crew etc)
