Regions
British Cycling recognises 10 key Regions within England plus Wales and Scotland. In 2006, the Competition Review Framework was introduced and a Members' Region became defined by where you live as opposed to the Region of your Club. The North East Region includes postcode area DL, DH, NE, TS, SR, YO21 and YO22. Areas around Richmond, Darlington, Durham, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Cleveland and Sunderland.
The Regions are particularly relevant to competitive cyclists as BC provides ranking points for individuals, Clubs and Regions at National level and for individuals and Clubs at Regional level (http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/web/site/BC/Rankings/RankingsMainRoad.asp )
