Port Sunlight Criterium
ENTRIES have opened for the first ever cycling road race in the historic Wirral village of Port Sunlight.
Port Sunlight Wheelers have accepted an invitation to organise a series of youth races around a closed circuit within the village.
Sanctioned by British Cycling, the sport’s governing body, the races will take place from 1pm on Sunday, May 11, 2014.
The mile-long circuit will start and finish in front of the famous Lady Lever Art Gallery and will be completely enclosed by barriers to guarantee traffic-free racing along the wide, well-surfaced route.
Race officials are planning to recreate the atmosphere of a European criterium or kermesse and hope the compact, enclosed circuit around the picturesque village will prove attractive to riders and spectators.
Entry is just £5 across all five youth categories (A, B, C, D, E) and cheques made payable to “Port Sunlight Wheelers” can be sent to organiser Mike Wright at:
Flat 12, The Cresson, 43 Bidston Road, Prenton. CH436UJ.
Further details are also available by emailing mike.wright26@talktalk.net or by calling 07747 348135.
Entry can also be secured on-line via British Cycling’s road race calendar on the road section of their official website.
