Estepona City Council reports that next Saturday March 9 will be held at the Fair and Sports Grounds the III Trophy ‘Villa de Estepona’ cycling, first scoring test of the XXVI Provincial Cycling Circuit Diputación de Málaga, in the form of Road Schools, organized by the Andalusian Cycling Federation.

The cycling quarry will have the opportunity to take part in the two tests that make up this small but exciting competition, which will continue on September 7 in Coín, this being one of the novelties of this season.

There will be two different circuits, one for the promising and beginners categories with a route of just one kilometer, and another of 1.35 kilometers for the juveniles and children, to which participants will give a certain number of laps, according to their category: promises (7-8 years, one lap, 950 meters route); beginners (9-10 years, two laps, 950 meters route); juveniles (11-12 years, four laps, route 1.320 meters); and children (13-14 years old, eight laps, 1,320 meters), which will score points for the circuit.

For their part, cyclists born in 2018 or later years (under 7 years) will perform games and gymkhana under the supervision of the organization’s staff, not scoring for the provincial circuit. This activity will be arranged for the enjoyment and handling of the bicycle.
