Racing

 

Racing can be intimidating for younger riders or those who have never taken part before. In reality, racing is fun, accessible to all, and an excellent way for children to build their confidence, both on and off the bike.

At Herne Hill Youth CC we encourage our members to race. We have a pool of race-ready bikes which can be borrowed for a one-off event, or rented for a whole season for only £100

If you're interested in racing, speak to a coach or any volunteer. The main racing leagues our members participate in are:

Cyclocross   offroad cycling for all ages from 6. The season is run by the London Cyclocross Association and holds 15 events from September to February. Click here to enter and for full details. Our more competent riders also join the national cyclocross leagues. 

Go-Ride  an off-road racing series specifically designed for children aged 6-16 who are not racing in the more established leagues. Races are held Sept to Nov, and then Mar-July, with a total of 9 events. They are the perfect place for all riders to start their racing career. There is no joining fee, cost is just £5 per race (£4,50 if you pre-register online). Click on the dates below for details of each race and how to register:
