Marshalls from the club will be required for all FBC promoted events and volunteers should contact the race organisers or the club Secretary.

 

An appropriate Racing Licence is required in order to enter any SCU/BCF road race. (Time Trials do not require a racing licence). Wearing of a BCF approved cycle helmet is mandatory.

Along with other Mid Scotland cycling clubs FBC also hosts several reliability Trials each season as a precursor to the racing season. Dates and details are on the calendar page.

 

Falkirk BC have an active group of competitive cyclists covering most of the Racing Categories.

The club's APR format used as the basis of the Thursday night training is a very good introduction to someone considering racing for the first time and its not such a big jump from this to a competitive APR (Australian Pursuit Race).

Anyone interested in racing competitively or seeking coaching should contact the Club Chairman or Club Coach.
