 RACE REPORTS 04 / 04 / 07
 

Team Quest Women's Series

The Wednesday twice monthly women's promotion held at Hillingdon has grown into a well supported series and this year has drawn support from Quest Cycles, the new sponsors. In 2006 it established itself as a series with good fields and racing, check out the race reports below for a feeling for the series and the regular riders who keep coming back to the closed circuit and well organised racing.

The plan is for the 2007 series to offer a few changes to the rules, Elite riders are no longer eligable this is to encourage new and younger riders to the circuit. However Elite Veteran women can ride in the LVRC.races which will be held on the same evenings. The LVRC races cater for all age groups (males must be over 40).

    Pleased to see the Series goes from strength to strength but very dissapointed to find you have excluded the Elite ridersm, particulalry when it has been they who have been encouraging the ladies to Have a go for some time. After years of trying to get Womens racing to the state wher there are plenty of entries it is a shame to a) deny the Elite riders the event b) deny new riders the opportunity to ascertain how they are doing against the standard they aspire to. What would have happend years ago if we had excluded Beryl (Mandy, Pauline et al) from riding no races for months for BB and no one had the opportunity to tilt at her crown.
