I'm organising this year's League of Veteran Racing Cyclists National Championships for the 60+ age groups, which will take place on Sunday 10th May. We'll be using the same Sheriff Hutton - Stillington circuit which we used for our club RR last year, and will have Sheriff village hall as race HQ. The races start at 10:00 (there are actually two events run concurrently - a 60-64yo race and a 65yo+ race) and should be over by 12-ish, with prizegiving to follow.
We will have professional traffic management and fist-aiders, but I still need some help in the shape of:-
- Help with signing-on and dishing out race numbers at HQ, and then judging the finish at the finish line
- People with a car to drive lead and following cars for the two races (so four drivers in all). You get a big "Cycle Race Approaching" sign and the opportunity to drive along flapping your right arm at all and sundry.
- People to pair up with the Traffic Management fellas to control each junction. You get instruction in what to do, and the power to stop traffic, legally, with a big "Road Closed" sign. I'm told it's hugely satisfying, plus you get a very up-close view of the race.
LVRC or Vets racing is great fun and truly inspiring - these fellas don't hang around and for any of us hoping to still be cycling into our latter years, it really warms yer cockles. Plus you'll get a voucher giving you afternoon tea for two at Your Bike Shed. Orderly queue, please. Thankyou!
