PRESCOTT BICYCLE RACES AND PEDAL-CAR GRAND PRIX
Tuesday 30 July 2019
The highlight of the year for so many of the Club’s younger (and older!) Members, Sunday’s activities get underway with the traditional and ever-popular Bicycle Races.
Long-time Club Member, Simon Diffey of Merry Printers has once again kindly sponsored the event – having been introduced to the annual VSCC Boulogne Bicycle Raid with his brother, James over 30 years ago – there will be the usual prizes for this year’s race winners, and sweets and drinks for all participants.
This year there are some changes to help the smooth running of the weekend.
There will be an official practice on Saturday, after the track action has finished, from approximately17.30 till 18.30.
If you would like to take part in this please assemble from 5pm with bicycle, helmet and if U18, a parent in the programme marquee situated on the Orchard side of the bridge to sign-on.
Racing starts at 8.30am.
