The aim of the road championship remains to encourage friendly competition between club members and to build team spirit by encouraging members to enter the same local races (and maybe pick-up a few team prizes along the way!)
Informal social events will be organised after several of the races.
The championship will consist of 3 divisions:-
- Men’s Premier
- Women’s Premier
- Vets – Over 55 prior to the final fixture
There will continue to be the combined Age grade award based on age grade scoring.
Please ensure you notify Chris Hunt of all results for inclusion in the tables. Please also notify Irwin Fairclough if you want your time included in the Age-Graded table.
