So for those wondering if BC is the only way to race? totally not.. my club ran a 26 week series of TLI races every tues eve at Colchester Northern Gateway, many of the competitors used to ride at North Weald but alas that is no longer running. We also Ran BMCR races. These can all be accessed through RiderHQ where you will find other clubs also promoting non BC racing across the country. A TLI license can also be used abroad to enter some races. Its far cheaper to run, cheaper for membership, insures you, allows a total mix of categories/sexes, allows you to change the track direction or race format without a load of extra work, spares you hat wearing speeches pre race from comissaires etc literally the only downside is the points system but on the plus side riders are a little bit less heroic and more respectful on the final lap.
