Event | Hell of the West |
Club | Sunbury Cycling Club |
Race Director | Colin Bell |
Course | The classic HotW course - including the infamous Glenmore Cutting |
Format | Graded Scratch Race |
Race Notes | Course conditions will be checked and communicated closer to the day |
Note 1: The course has ~3km of dirt. | |
Note 2: UNDER 17's. One of the rare races you can select your preferred grade. You will race a modified course which keeps you at tech reg distance (we pop you in after the dirt when your grade comes through). You compete for an U17 podium place but get to roll turns and finish as normal (Full distance is 92km, modified course is ~70km). We normally do this on this circuit. It's a little unusual but a nice offering for more experienced juniors) | |
Note 3: U15 Very special conditions apply. Please enter, we'll contact you to discuss |

Reminders
IMPORTANT
GENERAL
WC start separately wherever possible.
Occasionally some women do wish to race in harder grades rather than with the Women's designated grade (for instance Men's B). This is entirely your own decision and something that is supported.
See https://northerncombinecycling.org/racing/women for more details on the Women's Series Points. In every race, every female who starts gets a point. The best 3 female finishers get extra points.
The Northern Combine is looking for sponsors. If you or someone you know may be interested in supporting grass-roots racing please contact us via committee@northerncombinecycling.org
