Why is this site needed?
Many youth cycling clubs have a volunteer who performs the time consuming task of communicating upcoming events or maintaining an online calendar, all of whom are duplicating the work of volunteers from other clubs across the region.
This site provides a simple list of events across disciplines, acting as a single point of reference that each club can point its members to for the latest listings for the whole region. The listings are also published as a calendar link that can be embedded in a club’s own website.
For parents and carers of young riders, it also saves time navigating the various different websites to find appropriate youth events, some of which can be very difficult to search!
The hope is that by making events as easy as possible to find for clubs, riders, parents and carers, our already thriving regional youth cycling scene will develop into something even bigger and better!
What is listed on the site?
The site lists upcoming youth cycle events across the South East England region (including London).
It covers races, open training sessions and talent development sessions, and also includes youth triathlon events at which many young cyclists excel.
Some events listed (such as races) may require a club membership or national governing body membership (typically British Cycling, CTT or British Triathlon) to join in. You’ll need to check the event details, but as a rule of thumb, any events that link out to those three governing body websites will require membership of that governing body.
Source of events on this site include British Cycling, RiderHQ, Cycling Time Trials, British Triathlon and KidsTri.
