The British National Road Race Championships cover different categories of British road bicycle racing events, normally held annually.
[1] Between 1943 and 1958, two separate bodies – the British League of Racing Cyclists (BLRC) and the National Cyclists' Union (NCU) – ran championships in competition with each other.
In 1959, the NCU and the BLRC merged to create the British Cycling Federation.
Separate amateur and professional men's championships were held from 1959 until 1995.
In recent years the under 23 and senior races have been combined, which has caused some confusion in the interpretation of UCI rules.
