THE JACK & KATH PEARSON EVENING LEAGUE – 2010 

Download the CLUB LEAGUE 2010 ENTRY FORM 

The League is based on a series of events held on Tuesday evenings and some Sunday mornings. 
The League is open to all first claim members of the HWCC (although second claim members and members of other clubs can have private rides not counting towards the league).

Events will be over various distances, details of which are attached.

Awards will be made in the following categories and riders may only win awards in one category, (except riders can complete in the 2 up & an individual category):

            Juvenile (12-15 years)

            Junior (16-18 years)

            Senior (18+ years)

            Lady (18+ years)

            Veteran (40+ years)

            2 up (all ages)

Riders will stay in the same category as they are in at the start of the season, i.e. 1^st April 2010, even though a birthday changes their category (standard time in the case of vets) during the season. Vets may enter either the Senior or Veteran category. All race results are at the discretion of the committee of High Wycombe Cycling Club. 

Points will be awarded for each event on the following basis, by category:

            25 points for winning the event

            24 points for finishing second

            23 points for finishing third   & so on

Results will be based on actual times except for the Veterans category, which will be based on standard times.

Riders wishing to ride only 1 lap of the 22 course will be awarded points, 12 points for the fastest in each group, 11 next & so on. Riders must specify their intention when signing on.

The point’s chart will be displayed on Tuesday nights and at the Clubroom on Wednesday nights & also on the clubs website.  Please feel free to question your points if you think they are wrong.  At the end of the season, your 15 highest scoring rides will be the ones to count. (The number of rides may change due to cancelled events; this will be at the discretion of the committee.)

The first event of the season has been deemed to be a TT ridden on a standard bike, i.e. no disc wheels, tri-bars etc. (TT bikes can be ridden but will not count towards the League).

The Medium Gear 10 must be ridden on 72-inch gear maximum (48 x 18 or equivalent) to earn points.  Riding unrestricted gears is allowed, but will not count towards your League point’s total.

A new category this year will be a 2 up league. To qualify the riders must be the same two riders throughout the year. (riders can enter both the individual & the 2 up leagues). The 2 up league has no age or gender restrictions.

Members must use the CLUB LEAGUE 2010 ENTRY FORM  to enter.  If you do not complete a registration form you will not be registered for the League and points will not be awarded.

Entry fees for the season are listed below but if you would like to make an advance payment of £25, this will allow you to ride all the Tuesday evening/Sunday morning rides and give you a substantial saving.

            Club members/2^nd claim members                   £2.50

            Juniors/School persons                                    £1.00

            Non club members                                          £3.50

Entries may be made on the line (at least 15 minutes before the start of the event please). 
NO CREDIT GIVEN.

There will be no late entries accepted after the official start time. (The only exception is for members who have pre-booked a reserved number at least 24 hours before the event, but they must be signed on before the start of the event)

Time will be deducted for any late starters.

Race numbers will be issued from the lay-by in Longwick, and can be returned afterwards for a cup of tea in Longwick Village Hall (provided the hall is available)

No U-turns are permitted at the start or finish of the event.  Disqualification will result if this rule is broken.  ALSO NO WARMING UP BY RIDING THROUGH THE START LINE AFTER THE EVENT HAS COMMENCED.

The timekeeper/evening league secretary reserves the right to cancel any event in the interests of safety due to bad weather conditions or poor light.  It is also a requirement that riders MUST use lights ON ALL EVENING TIME TRIALS.   If you turn up without a light you won’t get a ride.  A few spare sets will be held by the evening league secretary but a £1 hire charge will have to be paid and the lights returned at the end of the evening.

All regular riders, whether they are signed on for the league or not, will be expected to marshall at least 3 events, and also carry out one assistant timekeeper/pusher duty.  A form is attached for you to enter the dates you wish to marshall.  Pusher/assistant time keeper can, if they wish ride as well, once everybody else has been set off, but you will not get points for doing both.

NO POINTS WILL BE AWARDED FOR MARSHALLING, BUT 25 POINTS PER EVENT WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM YOUR LEAGUE TOTAL IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETE THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF DUTIES OR FAIL TO TURN UP ON YOUR CHOSEN DATE WITHOUT FIRST INFORMING THE LEAGUE SECRETARY.
