Event Details
Calshot Velodrome
UK Youth on Track 2011 5th-6th November
The event this year will start at 12:30hrs on Saturday 5th of November to finish 12:30hrs on Sunday 6th November.
Each team can have up to 16 riders on the track at any one time. Every rider should have a computer on their machine and should report their mileage at the control desk after every ride. We trust people's honesty. If you don't have a cycle computer then buddy up with someone who has and inform the desk that your mileage is the same as X's.
Cost of Involvement
The objective of this event is to present Cycle Racing in a positive light and raise money for a high profile charity. Your entry registration fee is £30 per rider payable as you sign on in the track centre or send to Graham in advance.
Sponsorship
Your registration fee is only part of the fundraising - download the sponsorship form and get to work on your own sponsors. Most people will sponsor the event for a set figure but to give yourself a goal how about setting a mileage target for the team? Your team will be riding 3x1 hour shifts. How tough are you? Will you cover 67-69-70-73-75 miles ask your sponsors to give a little extra if you hit the target. How about a personal target? Maybe you will be in Superfast Company and need to take a few laps out, or perhaps your team will split into two groups. If you fit a computer to your track bike even if you take a few laps out to recover you will have your own record of how far you rode.
On-line donations
A Virgin Giving has been established. (See [Donate] link at the top of this page). You could set up your own web site. If you do, then give us the address so we can link it in to your team detail section of the web site. After the event please send details of the total raised to Graham for verification.
Accommodation
This is available within the Calshot complex at a cost of £19.00. Where else can you get a room by the beach for under £20? We have the Keymer house as Team Midland Team HQ so feel free to make use of the Kitchen and lounge during the event.
