FAQ - ABOUT BBB RACING

Every Thursday at 18.30 we will start from Montgomery and ride together to the segment of one of four selected circuits for two high intensity sessions:

  • Hare & Hounds: a group of riders starts with some advance and get chased by the second. The chase doesn’t always get the caught, the challenge is on!
  • Team Time Trial: We work together to try and get the best time as a team. There will will be damage and people dropped along the way

In both cases we wait for dropped riders at the end of the segment and roll back to Brussels for a drink at Drohme. The format (H&H or TTT) will be announced the week before on Strava.

About the ride:

  • every Thursday until mid-October
  • start at 6.30 AM (6.00 during the darkest weeks)
  •  ~60/65km for ~600D+
  • BBB Racing members only
  • registration compulsory via BBB Strava Club

About the route:

Attention:

  • bring your lights
  • whatever the pace and the lactate in your legs, security goes first, respect road signs and traffic

Saturday ride is generally our  the main “long ride” of the BBB Racing typical week, dedicated to endurance. It can be replaced by rides dedicated to  specific training session as well.

  • every Saturday morning, 8.30

You can join BBB Racing with a competition or with a recreational licence. 
To join, check out our page dedicated to membership.

If you want to join BBB Racing with a recreational licence you will be able to participate in trainings organised by the Racing section but you will not have the required paperwork to participate in races (some races do allow for a one-day license).
You should fill in the BBB registration form and check the BBB Racing option along with a recreational license of  your choice.

We ask all riders participating in high intensity trainings organised by BBB Racing to do a cardio-respiratory checkup on a yearly basis.

👉  Should you need any further information, feel free to contact us by email: racing@brusselsbigbrackets.eu

  • Training: we train on a regular basis (at least 3 times a week during the summer months): high intensity rides, steady rides or longer weekend rides. 
  • Races: we propose a series of races & events (ECW, Gran Fondos, Zolder races, Ultra distance…) at the beginning of the season. We build together a list of priorities, allowing physical preparation as well as logistic planning. 
  • The section is open to anyone willing to improve and level up! Of course, you will perform better (and faster) by training consistently throughout the year and riding with strong riders.
  • As a general policy at BBB, we expect all riders to adhere to the ride etiquette (courtesy on and off the bike, safety rules, guidance of the ride captain…) These are even more important given that riders will be pushing at the limit and our priority at all times is to preserve safety first

Check-out the page dedicated to BBB events and competition.
Do not hesitate to suggest races and events you’re going to attend and to share your planning with the other members through our facebook group.

The “competition” licence category is based on your age:
  • Elite 3: 19-34 years old
  • Master A: 35-44 years old
  • Master B: 45-54 years old
  • Master C: 55 years old +
 With the competition license, you can take part in the following races:

You can take part in a competition abroad when travelling outside form Belgium.

In any case, check-out with the local organiser if you can register with your Belgian licence!

If you’ve got a recreational licence, you’ ll certainly need a medical certificate from your doctor.
