Hi Everyone,

Below you will see all details for the upcoming Welsh Champs at Llangollen sponsored Juice Lubes and O’Neal.

It’s important that you read all the information below.

Event
The event is held at Lllangolen and the main meeting point will be in the field as per this link. Llangollen Directions

You can also use this post code to get you close LL20 8AR.

Parking & Camping
Parking and camping is in the car fields only – Please do not park on the road – Not only is the road being used for uplifts but also for emergency access.

Sign On
You must sign on and attach your number board prior to riding the track or getting on the uplift.

There will be a £5 deposit for your board - this will be returned at the end of Sunday - you must not deface, cut or do anything to your board. If you break your board you will lose £2 of your deposit - if you deface or don't return it you will lose all your £5.

Sign on will be available:
Friday – 1500 – 1730
Saturday – 0745 – 1130

(Sign on will not be permitted after 1200 – If you have not signed on by then you cannot race)

Uplifts
Uplifts are scheduled to run from 0900 – 1700 on Saturday and from 0830 on Sunday morning. The uplifts will run from the field near the finish. There is a short push from the drop off point to the start.

We will not be having a lunch break and will look to stagger the lunch breaks of the drivers to keep you all riding.

Armour Ruling – An important one!!!
All those in Juvenile, Youth and Junior must wear knee pads, elbow pads and spine protector.

Everyone must wear a full face helmet and have it attached properly at all times while with-in the tape.

Helmet Ruling
This is one area where we tend to struggle – it’s imperative that you have your lid fastened at all times while between the tapes – whether riding or not. If you are caught without your helmet done up then you will be reported to the Commisaire – it is then up to them to determine the outcome. This could mean complete disqualification from the event.

Bar Plugs
You must have bar plugs in at all times – if you get by without being spotted and turn up for your race run without bar plugs the Commisaire will not allow you to race and you are unlikely to get another chance – don’t let it be you!

Respect for Marshalls / Officials and Organisers
Please assure that you show the upmost respect to any helpers, Marshalls, Officials or Organisers. Abuse will not be tolerated. If you have a complaint about anyone who is involved in the running of the event then feel free to air your views with myself (Not when I’m running around like a headless chicken)

If you feel your run time is inaccurate then you should make this known to the Commisaire – you have up to 30 minutes after racing has finished to raise a dispute and after this time nothing can be done.

Race Runs
If you come out of the tape during your race run you MUST return to the course at the point where you left. If you do not you will be reported to the Commisaire who will determine your outcome. This could be complete disqualification or a time penalty – Don’t let it happen to you!

Run times and Seeding
You can view a full start list here: Descent World & here: Southerndownhill.com

If you feel you are out of place then you should email Alasdair Maclennan at as soon as possible at: amkmaclennan@aol.com.

Second runs will run in reverse order.

Categories
Check you are entered to the right category – Remember it’s your age on 31st December. For Example: if you’re 29 now but 30 sometime later this year then you are in Masters – again email Ali on the email address above to let him know.

Timing
Timing will be provided by ECM. We will be running the timing ourselves in conjunction with a professional from ECM. Since the last event at Moelfre we have made a few software tweaks to help with Result Printing, commentator Display and Display for riders.

Kit & Equipment available Trackside
There will be stalls trackside to keep you on track all weekend.

Prizes
There will be prizes courtesy of Juice Lubes and O’Neal as well as trophies for all those who make the podium.

There will be a second prize giving for the Welsh Champions…..
