Queries

Please contact the organising team using: events@cdpp.org.uk if you have a question about results, or an issue with payment.

Transponders and Race Numbers

When using transponders, issues with results are often due to transponder chips being swapped between riders, or the transponder not fixed to your bike as instructed.

PLEASE look after the race number and transponder issued to you as you are getting ready, then return to sign on after the race. Both race numbers and transponders are expensive to replace. A fee of £120 will be charged for a lost transponder.

Volunteer Helpers – Wanted Please

The CDPP crit series relies on volunteers to make it happen.

We need marshals every week around the circuit and are always looking for volunteers. If you or someone you know are able to help, please contact the organising team using events@cdpp.org.uk or speak with one of the officials on the night. Marshals are important for the safe and efficient running of the event.

The race officials are all un-paid volunteers, qualified as race officials with British Cycling. If you are interested in helping as an official, you are more than welcome to help to find out more about what’s involved. We welcome anyone interested, from 18 years and upwards. Please ask to speak with one of the officials at an event, we are really short of younger race officials both here and in the North West region.
