Road racing in London is a friendly competition put on by the members of the LCW. There are a number of road courses used by the club that will challenge any level of rider. The races are conducted by completing a predetermined number of laps of the course which range from 5.5 km per lap for the Scotland Rd. loop to 20 km for the Cairngorm loop.  The race normally ranges from 20-60 km depending on the weather, and the time of year.

Races are divided into "A." "B," and occasionally beginner groups (beginner groups ride as a group for most of the event and race only on the finishing straight of the last lap).  To keep everyone excited there are points awarded to the top five A's and B's and to the top 5 elite/master women and to the top 5 U19 boys and top 5 U19 girls.  Women and U19's who finish in the top 5 of an A or B race also receive A or B points.  These points are maintained and go towards a trophy at the end of the year for the top rider.

Please refer to the specific regulations governing road races under "General Information"on the Training page.
