Badger Coaching Battle
The first proper Winter Worlds hit-out for 2026. Flat roads, cold air, nervous legs, and just enough bravado to make everyone pretend they are “only here for training”.
Cancellations or delayed starts will be posted on the Facebook page and group by 8am Sunday.
Round 1 — Badger Coaching’s Battle for Frozen Glory
Presented by Badger Coaching, with the Winter Worlds series proudly supported by Whoosh.
Round 1 energy
Fresh numbers, hopeful legs, and the annual discovery that winter racing is still racing. Funny how that works.
All grades welcome
Elite through to Development. Whether you are chasing points or just trying to stay attached, there is a place on the line for you.
Open road rules
Keep left, obey the road rules, respect the marshals, and avoid doing anything that creates a committee meeting afterwards.
