No, we can find you people to ride with. When you enter you’ll be asked to join or create a team. So you can ride with friends or clubmates. But you can also choose to ‘join’ a team called “Find me a Team” and we’ll match you with other riders

At each evening of the league all team pursuit riders will get 2 rides of an 8 lap team pursuit. The first a qualifying round, the 2nd a final ride where the fastest 2 teams ride head to head for the overall win, the next 2 teams race for 3rd, the next 2 teams race for 5th and so on.

There will also be a bonus race at every event, linked to team pursuiting but with a bit of a twist

Yes. When you’re entering online and asked to join or create a team, choose find a team and type ‘Individual Pursuit’

There is space each evening for 8 teams or individuals. If the event is oversubscribed priority will be given to teams or we’ll try to make you a team with other riders

We try to cover team pursuit type drills in intermediate and race training sessions fairly regularly, check the link below for available sessions.

Each evening the top 8 places overall in the main team pursuit competition get: 50, 40, 30, 25, 20, 16, 12, 9 and 6 points.

If the bonus event is a team event the top 8 teams will get: 20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, and 3 points.

If the bonus event is an individual event the top 8 riders will get: 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 point.

The team’s best 4 out of 5 rounds of the league will decide the final overall standings. So it doesn’t matter if you can’t come to every event.

The winning overall team will win the Team Pursuit League trophy and a crate of beer.

The team that sets this year’s fastest time will win a crate of beer.

There may be additional prizes and cash if entries are healthy

Every round will start with a qualifying flying 200m time trial. This gives us a seeding for the rest of the evening, so you can have well matched and enjoyable races. It also gives you a chance to track your own progress and try to beat your best time at each round.

You’ll then get at least 2 head to head match sprints.

We’ll also have an extra race at every round. That might be a 3rd match sprint, a keirin, a team sprint or something else.

There is a sprint training session every saturday afternoon through the summer (except on Speed League days). It’s a great chance to get the physical training you need, and learn and practice new tactics and techniques. It’s a friendly, supportive and knowledgeable community. Enter here

Each evening the top 24 places overall in the main team sprint competition get: 100, 80, 60, 50, 40, 35, 30, 26, 22, 19, 16, 14, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points.

If there’s an extra sprint event the top 12 riders will get: 20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 points, and in some casees the top 8 in a minor final of an extra event will get: 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points

Each rider’s best 4 out of 5 rounds of the league will decide the final overall standings. So it doesn’t matter if you can’t come to every event.

There are tophies for the men’s and women’s league winners and also cash prizes for the top 3 men and women overall (£100, £60, £40)

There may be additional prizes and more cash prizes if entries are healthy

We definitely don’t recommend it (are you ok?)…the program of events is planned to try to give everyone adequate recovery time to get the best out of themselves. But if numbers are fairly low we’re happy to let you try, drop us an email to info@hernehillvelodrome.com or ask at sign-on.
