CBNSC are proud to be hosting a day of races starting off with our Cairngorm Hill Climb on Sunday 15th September 2019 in the morning and the Glenmore Lodge Time Trial in the afternoon. All information regarding both races is below. Tickets must be purchased for both events.

There will be NO ENTRY on the day. As it is a full weekend of racing with races in Huntly on the 14th of September and then our races on the Sunday, entries will close at midnight on Wednesday 11th of September 2019 to allow for seeding and any changes that need to be made.
