1 5 th Doonbank Trofee Cyclocross Rozelle Park, Ayr 9 th December 2018 Event information guide Welcome Well done you! You have entered the fifth Doonbank Trofee Cyclocross in Ayr, hosted by Ayr Burners Cycling. We ve prepared this guide to help you plan for and enjoy your day. We ve also prepared it so that we know what we are meant to be doing What? The Doonbank Trofee is a day of cyclocross fun for all ages. We have access to a lovely scenic park close to the centre of the town. We have three competitions taking place: Round 1 of the Super Quaich Series, for everyone over 16 The Scottish Cycling South West CX Champs for riders from eligible clubs The Doonbank Trofee Youth Races, for everyone age 12 to 16 Typically a winter discipline, cyclocross sees competitors charge around an off-road circuit for anything up to an hour, looking for the fastest way to overcome obstacles including hurdles, sand, mud and deeper mud. This should, and will, involve a bit of running. The Super Quaich Now in its fourth year, the Super Quaich is a five-race series across December and January. The primary aim is to maximise and extend the thrill of racing throughout all ability levels. We want as many riders as possible to have a rider just ahead of them and a rider chasing them close behind. When this happens every rider gets a racing experience. Visit for all the relevant rules on points etc. Scottish Cycling South West CX Championships The Doonbank Trofee will host the SCSW Cyclocross Championships, open to all riders from registered clubs. There are two categories, for male and female. Based on the way the A and B race splits fall, the A race will host the male championship and the B race will feature the female championship. The Doonbank Trofee races are supported by the members, friends and supporters of Ayr Burners Cycling QTS.

2 Why? Ayr Burners Cycling is Ayrshire s fastest growing cycling community. Our aims are to promote cycling opportunities across Ayrshire and encourage cyclists to visit Ayrshire. We love cyclocross as an accessible, family friendly discipline of cycle sport, taking place in secure off-road environments, not requiring specific technical skills to participate, and allowing cyclists of a wide range of ages and abilities to ride together. Ayr Burners Cycling are grateful to South Ayrshire Council for providing permission to use the popular Rozelle Park. We are excited to welcome cross fans from across Scotland to enjoy our particular local brand of mud. When? The Doonbank Trofee takes place on Sunday 9 th December, starting at 10:00.

4 Rozelle Park is in a prime location close to the centre of Ayr. The park s origins come from Rum money, involving all the historical crimes of sugar plantation of La Rochelle, Jamaica. It is popular with the public and dog walkers especially, so please show due care and consideration when preparing for your race. The course has been substantially updated for the fifth edition, with a new, tarmac start/ finish. Much of the course takes place on an old pitch-and-putt course with some quality banking. The course is soft underfoot and we expect the north-east corner to chew-up substantially as the day goes on. In the main section of the park our course deliberately hugs the tree line in order to minimise the visual disturbance to the park. Like all the best parks, Rozelle gets a bit soggy during the winter. We therefore ask riders to warm up on tarmac or the actual course itself to avoid damage to the grass elsewhere. How? Registering The Super Quaich events have fully sold out so no on-the-day entry will be accepted. Riders should go to race sign-on before their event to collect their number and timing chip on presentation of a valid BC membership card. The timing chips have been hired specially for the event and are expensive, so please make sure to return yours after the event. Youth racers should register ONLINE ONLY via the British Cycling events page The Under 12 Fun-Ride is a free, enter-on-the-day event aimed at attracting local participants. This is a non-competitive, 20minute activity on a short circuit with a prize for all participants.
