Free British Cycling Commissaire Course…

British Cycling has been in touch with details of a free BC Commissaire’s course in Welwyn Garden City in early March. Here’s what they have to say:

Do you support more mountain bike racing for all?

Do you spend your weekends watching your husband/wife/son/daughter racing mountain bikes and want to do something different?

Do you want to give something back to your sport?

Then British Cycling MTB needs you!

We are training more race commissaries/judges* to make sure that our events run smoothly and safely as well as being great fun for everyone.

Eastern region course is taking place on 6th March at Gosling Sports Park, Welwyn Garden City
