News – Southdown Velo Goodwood Summer Series

The series will comprise 10 weekly events commencing on 6th May 2014 followed by an event every Tuesday evening thereafter finishing on Tuesday 8th July 2014.

The races are BC events and as such, will carry ranking points for riders successful in them. On each Tuesday evening, there will be a Youth race starting at 6.30pm – all ages and both male and female riders competing together. The race will be restricted to a maximum of 6o riders with a mass start and all categories required to complete 3 laps of the circuit.

Following the youth race at 7pm there will be an E/1/2/3/4 categories senior race both male and female riders competing together. The race will be restricted to 120 riders with a mass start and all categories required to complete upwards of 15 laps of the circuit.

Goodwood Racing Circuit is a historic venue for both two and four wheeled events. The 2.4 mile (3.8k) track is situated near Chichester, West Sussex on the estate of Goodwood House and completely encircles the Chichester/Goodwood airfield. The circuit will be open to spectators before and during the event.

Traditionally cycling events have not attracted a wide audience other than family and friends of the participants. Goodwood, however, is different with a long history of spectator involvement stretching from last years appearance of Sir Chris Hoy MBE leading a 72 rider, two lap demonstration to mark the 100th year of the Tour de France to the 1982 UCI Road World Championship
