Our long running Easter road race festival is open to non-members and members alike and your entry fee includes breakfast at the Trophy Presentation at The Kiln Cafe at Oatlands after the final race on Easter Monday. It is named in memory of Club stalwart Paul who died in 2019 and, in its current guise, is run as a multi-day stage race over the whole Easter bank holiday weekend and this year will be Sponsored by Wheels & Co
This year there will be both a Senior & Youth competition.

This is a road bike only event - no time trial bikes or aero bars will be permitted at the time trial, or any other stage. Aero clothing (skinsuits) and aero helmets are permitted. Aero wheels over 90mm rim depth are not permitted.
The overall category winners will be decided on a ‘points per stage’ basis and this year there will be prizes for the top three in each category. There will be a separate start for each category at the senior crit race and road race. Whilst the winners may get the headlines, the Paul Van Katwyk Trophy is awarded to the rider who has embodied the spirit of competitiveness, sportsmanship and good humour over the whole weekend so everyone has something to aim for!
Thanks to the generosity of Wheels & Co we will this year have a prize pot for Top 3 in the racing categories.
