Some very sad news for Larry’s family and the cycling community. RIP Larry

All at British Cycling are saddened to hear the passing of Larry Hickmott.

Larry’s passion and dedication for cycling was unrelenting, and the wider community benefited from his tireless efforts in chronicling the sport.

Our thoughts go to Larry’s family and friends at this difficult time.

Congrats to our very own Sonja! A true leader within the domestic scene, which relies on so many amazing volunteers.

“It’s great to see us volunteer race organisers get some recognition & I’m privileged to be on the shortlist!”

The Outstanding Contribution Award was the hardest to judge of all - but we’ve reached our final shortlist. A tiny snapshot of a huge community effort.

We have a new race organiser!!

Firstly, a huge thank you to Sonja Harper for her incredible leadership of the Otley Cycle Races over the past seven years. Taking on this role is someone requiring very little introduction in the cycling town of Otley… welcoming Lizzie Deignan as our new Event Organiser!! Sonja and our team are extremely pleased to be retaining a female director of the races!

Lizzie brings years of experience from an iconic racing career shifting to the other side of the barriers.

“I am slightly daunted by the prospect of jumping in as organiser of a long standing and prestigious race like Otley, but I am confident and grateful to be working with such a dedicated and experienced team. My career started on the UK criterium scene, it’s so important to me to give back to the sport and particularly my local cycling community, I certainly wouldn’t have had the career I’ve had without the dedication of so many race organisers and volunteers. Thank you Sonja!”
