Lichfield is set to play host to a unique cycling event.
The 2011 BSCA National & West Midlands Regional Roller Racing Championships will take place at King Edward VI Leisure Centre on March 13 and will see school pupils from across the country competing for a series of age-specific titles.
Roller racing sees riders cycling 500 metre to 1,000 metre distances on a set of rollers, with the progress of each rider displayed on a digital clock so spectators can see the battle unfolding.
Warren Bailey, from sponsors Zipvitsport.com, said:
“We are thrilled to be sponsoring this event which helps to showcase and develop the cycling talent of the future.”
Entry forms and event details are available from King Edward VI Leisure Centre, Kings Hill Road, Lichfield, Staffs, WS14 9DE, by calling 01543 308782, or emailing kingedwardvi@lichfielddc.gov.uk.
