4th Doonbank Trofee Cyclocross
Rozelle Park, Ayr
28th January 2018
Event information guide
Welcome
Well done you! You have entered the fourth 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 JP and Chris know what they are meant to be doing.
If you see them looking dazed and confused on the day please feel free to prompt them
with a cue!
What?
The ‘Doonbank Trofee’ is a day of cyclocross fun for all ages. We have access to a lovely
scenic park just next door to the Bard’s birthplace in Alloway so we hope he enjoys an
early birthday present.
We have two competitions taking place:
• Round 1 of the Super Quaich Series, for everyone over 16
• The Doonbank Trofee Youth Races, for everyone age 12 to 16
Cyclocross racing is by far the bestest racing out there. Typically a winter discipline, it sees
competitors charge around an off-road circuit for anything up to an hour, looking for the
fastest way to face obstacles including hurdles, sand, mud and deeper mud. This should,
and will, involve a bit of running.
The Trek Super Quaich
Now in its third year, the Super Quaich is a three-race series sponsored by Trek Bicycles. It’s
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 www.superquaich.cx for all the relevant rules on points etc.
The Doonbank Trofee races are supported by the members, friends and supporters of Ayr
Burners Cycling QTS.
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 all ages and abilities to ride together.
Organisers JP and Chris are also closet racing fans. JP is a regular on the cyclocross
circuit best known for trying to synchronise three clashing colour schemes at once.
Meanwhile Chris has been known to turn up at the occasional race to stalk Niels Albert, or
to give JP ‘encouraging’ commentary on the colour of his brake hoods.
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.

Where?
The Doonbank Trofee takes place
at Rozelle Park in Ayr. We have
access to changing facilities
including showers at the venue.
Strip Address:
Rozelle Park,
Monument Road
Ayr, KA7 4NQ
Car Parking
Parking at the site is VERY limited and will be carefully marshalled. There is nearby on-
street parking on ‘The Loaning’ (KA7 4QL) that we encourage participants to use. This will
be signposted from the Southbound A77.
Rozelle Park is in a prime location close to the centre of Ayr. The park’s origins come from
Rum money, and the 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 the event. The majority of the course takes place on an old pitch-and-put
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 via the British Cycling events page:
https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/events/details/168103/4th-Doonbank-Trofee---Trek-
Super-Quaich-Round-2
Registration for youth events is ONLINE ONLY due to limited course capacity
Entry closes at 8pm on Sunday 14th January
Due to soggy ground the use of pressure washers is STRONGLY
DISCOURAGED and should be limited to hard stone / tarmac areas

British Cycling Technical Regulations: The DoonBank Trofee races are run under the regulations of British Cycling. A handpicked selection of
relevant Cyclo Cross event rules from British Cycling’s Technical Regulations appear below:
10. EQUIPMENT PITS 10.1 The equipment pit is that part of the circuit where riders can change wheels or bicycles, or receive mechanical
assistance. Servicing and the changing of bicycles will only be allowed in these pits. Any rider passing the yellow flag
marking the exit of the pit area must continue on the course until reaching the next pit area. The provision of
equipment pits is obligatory in all races except those for under 12s and those promoted under the Go-Cross category.
10.2 In category C races a minimum of one and a maximum of two pit areas shall be provided. In category B races and
above two single pits, or one double pit as defined in regulation 10.4, shall be provided. Equipment pits shall be
judiciously located adjacent to the course, in places where speeds are not high, but not on stony or downhill
stretches. They shall be free of artificial obstacles. In category B events and above the race lane and the pit lane shall
be separated and distinctly marked out by tape or barriers.
10.3 Movement is permitted between pit areas, but at no time must a pit attendant obstruct riders while changing pit
areas.
10.4 If, during each lap, riders pass two points sufficiently close to each other, just one pit - known as a double pit - may be
set up at that point, provided that it meets the conditions set forth in article 10.2.
10.5 Pits shall be straight and in clearly defined areas. They should be signposted and precisely marked by yellow flags
located at the beginning and the end of the separation between the race and pit lanes.
10.6 At the side of the pit area a zone at least 2 metres deep shall be set aside for riders’ assistants and their equipment.
10.7 A rider may only take the pit lane with the intention of changing a bicycle or wheel, or receiving mechanical
assistance. Access shall be provided for riders’ assistants only on one side of the pit lane12.10
11. CONDUCT OF COMPETITORS
11.1 Where practicable, thirty minutes should be allowed before the start of events (other than those for under 12s)
for on-course inspection and training by the respective riders.
11.2 All races shall be started by an audible signal from a point not visible to competitors. No indication shall be
given to competitors of the passing of seconds immediately before the start.
11.3 Riders found to be causing false starts shall be penalised at the discretion of the Commissaire. The method of
stopping a false start shall be defined by the start official during any pre-race instructions.
11.4 Riders shall start with the front wheel behind the line and with at least one foot on the ground.
11.5 Riders shall not receive assistance at the start, or during the event, other than under the provisions of regulation
10. The handing up of refreshment is forbidden.
11.6 Any rider deliberately leaving the course shall be deemed to have retired from the event.
11.7 No competitor shall cover any part of the course without his machine.
11.8 When being lapped or overtaken by a faster rider from another category, the rider being overtaken should be
prepared to surrender the racing line.
11.9 All competitors, whilst training or racing on the course, shall wear properly shall wear properly affixed protective
headgear which must be of a hard/soft shell construction. The responsibility for ensuring that the protective
headgear is of a standard sufficient to provide adequate protection in the case of an accident whilst training or
racing on the course shall lie solely with the competitor. NB: advice on helmet standards may be found in the
note appended to BCF general technical regulation 8.6.
11.10 No member of the Federation other than those competing or officiating shall be permitted to ride on a course
whilst a race is in progress.
11.11 The first three riders wherever practicable shall receive their awards directly after the event has finished and
adjacent to the finishing area.
