Update: BC Confirm Barnsley Crit Cancelled

British Cycling confirm that the second round of the 2021 National Circuit Series in Barnsley has sadly been cancelled at the request of event organiser, following discussions with local authorities. As a result of the cancellation, the LOGCO Otley Cycle Races are now the only remaining rounds in both the men’s and women’s series. British Cycling however is continuing to work towards adding an additional round into both the men’s and women’s series.

As a result of not being able to host this year’s Barnsley Town Centre Races, organiser has planned two additional National B racing opportunities. The event – named The Barnsley (Not in the Town Centre) Races – will take place on the Hade Edge Carlecotes course above the Holme Valley on Sunday 18 July 2021.
