This is a team event. Each team consists of 6 riders – one from each grade. The team ride together but the lowest grade rider must be on the front. The lowest grade rider pulls out at the completion of their lap.
Therefore: the F grade rider leads the first lap and must not be passed by any teammates, this rider pulls out at the completion of 1 lap and the E grade rider takes the front. This pattern continues until the A grade rider does the last lap alone and the time is taken when this rider crosses the line.
Each team has a rider from each grade (except G grade which will have a separate race)
Teams are started 30 secs apart.
Individual Time Trial (NO drafting) rules apply – that is, teams must not draft off each other or cooperate in any way.
No time trial equipment to be used.
Teams will be selected by the race committee and available on the Ramblers website on Friday.
If insufficient riders enter from any grade (or too many) teams will be rated by ability.
Please enter by emailing Ken cycle@clear.net.nz with your name and current grade. Entries close 6pm Thursday evening.
