Welcome to the Cotswold Cycle Racing League – known more locally as simply ‘The Cotswold League’. Established in the late 1980’s the league was set up to enable riders in the Cotswolds to race on a weekly basis during the Summer. Based on a handicapping system it means that riders of all levels get to compete in a single event on a weekday evening.

2008 sees the expansion of the league to eight events, along with two new sponsors. Firstly locally based on-line bike retailer Performance Cycles and also international sports clothing company Fernando Carvalho Ciclismo please use both sponsors wherever possible and let them know you heard about them here.

The Cotswold League now also has a Facebook page, please can all riders log on to this and sign up – even if you don’t want to give too many details to Facebook!! This will allow details and updates of events to be sent to you, as well as holding up-to-date results and pictures etc. It will also allow you to let us (and therefore the organisers) know if you are planning on riding there events. This will be a MASSIVE help, as due to the number of EOL the organisers often don’t know whether or not there will be anyone will be at their events!!

Below you will find details of the eight events for 2008 – if you’re club isn’t organising an event, and you would like to become part of the league, please get in contact with league organiser ANDY KIRK as we’re always looking for ways to expand the league.

All the events are run under the rules of the TLI, with the aim of keeping your weekly racing as cheap as possible.

† Event is run under BCF (not TLI) - don't forget your licence!

** The final event will end with a BBQ and prize presentation. Please support this by purchasing a ticket in advance after the next event. Tickets are £5 in advance (contact Andy by email or phone 07971 190494) and £8 on the night.
