The Fifth British National Unicycling Road Race

For the 5th year Running, Julian Page has organized the British National Unicycling Road Race.

British National Unicycling Road Race

The Fifth British National Unicycling Road Race


The date: Sunday 18th June 2017 1-05pm start

As usual the race will consist of 7 (1 mile) laps of the Horwich Town Centre course.  The start line is just next to the town hall, so be there well before 1pm. When the leader has completed 7 laps, all other competitors will be finished as they pass the finishing line.

Parking this year will be difficult as Horwich Leisure Centre (BL6 5PY) is being redeveloped and has lost its car park. Currently the organisers are trying to source parking at a local factory, Up-dates of this will be posted when we know. Please be aware that lots of the roads around Horwich are closed for the day but you can still access the Leisure Centre from Exit 6 off the M61.

Entry


You can enter on-line before the event but it’s much easier to complete the TLI Cycling entry forms and pay (cash only) on the day. Entry fee £15 (Adults) £10 (u18).

Registration on the day:


On arrival, register at the Horwich Bowling Hut (behind the town hall), Jones Street, Horwich, BL6 7AQ. You MUST sign a form for the insurance and get your race number. Entry Fee £15 (Adults) £10 (under 18) payable in cash on the day. If you are under 16 you must get your parent or guardian to complete a consent form.

People can gather at the small grassy area next to the town hall. Bring juggling equipment and make a day of it. There are toilets next to the bowling hut and there are a few shops and pubs around should you need to purchase any food on the day.

There will be trophies for first, second and third male, first and second lady, and, first and second under 16.

You will NOT be permitted to race if you do not have a helmet, so don't forget it.

Horwich race, pre-run by Steve Colligan



We have had Steve Colligan who lives local to Horwich to check out the race course before the Horwich Festival of Racing unicyle race in 2 weeks time.  Here is what he thinks:

"According to my iPhone GPS, the drop from the start to the lowest point, after 0.6 miles, is 10 metres only. Then it's a 10 metre ascent back to the start for the remaining 0.4 miles. The course doesn't undulate between the highest point (the start) and the lowest point, after 0.6 miles. The same goes for the uphill back to the start. It's either all down, or all up.

As you can see, a 10 metre difference in altitude over this kind of difference is hardly anything."

Don't forget to register for the race.  The entry forms are here.
