The Cheshire 2 – Day Stage Race

Entries are invited for teams of three riders for the Cheshire 2 – Day Stage Race on Saturday 10^th and Sunday 11^th May 2008.

Originally this race was to open only to Clubs affiliated to C.D.N.W. but, owing to the poor field at present, the organisers have decided to open it up to any Club or group of riders wishing to enter. Clubs who have affiliated solely to ride this event will have their fee returned. Composite teams are welcome.

The event includes a Team Time Trial and road race on the Saturday, centred on Church Minshull, Cheshire and on day two moves to the Delamere circuit with H.Q. at Frodsham. Prize money last year was considerable and Wills Wheels and Curtain Express, the C.D.N.W. Road Race League sponsors, will again be augmenting the prize list. We expect the total to exceed £1000 but will depend somewhat on the total entry.

Teams should consist of three riders whose categories add up to at least 6:

Elites – 1

First Cats – 1

Second cats - 2

Third Cats – 3

The race is a National B category, open to E/1/2/3 and further details and Team entry forms are available on the C.D.N.W. website at the following link:
