Racing, events & uplifts
GENERAL INFORMATION
An exciting track from top to bottom. Not the longest and not the fastest track of the season but it will definitely put a smile on your face. With a big fly off jump near the top and a road gap into the quarry section near the bottom.
BEFORE RACE WEEKEND
We recommend you check the list of confirmed riders for each event. Make sure your name is listed and that all your details are correct. Please inform us of any errors.
AT THE RACE - SIGN-ON & NUMBER BOARD
Before you start riding you must sign-on in the registration marquee - this shows us that you've arrived to race and ensures that you're covered by our insurance.
All riders U18 years MUST have a parent or responsible adult with them when registering on the day. The parent/responsible adult will be required to sign the declaration on the sign-on sheets in order for the U18 rider to collect their number board and race.
You will collect a new number board when you sign-on at your first event of the year. You keep the same number board for subsequent rounds. If you lose or forget your number board a replacement will cost £5. You must have a number fitted to your bike at all times - during racing it's used by the timing team as identification so please start with it clean. Do not cut down or alter your number board in any way.
*YOU MUST NOT RACE THE 2016 SERIES USING A NUMBER FROM A PREVIOUS YEAR.*
RIDER ETIQUETTE
Racing is run to British Cycling regulations which can be found HERE
With 300+ riders at each race the course can become congested at times. To minimise delays and for your safety it's important that you:
* Comply with any instructions given to you by a race marshal.
* Do not stop and block the course.
* If you need to stop for any reason move off the course and outside the tapes so as not to impede other riders.
* If caught by a faster rider please try and give way at the earliest opportunity.

*You must complete at least two full practice runs during the Saturday or Sunday morning practice session to be allowed to race.
During timed runs there will be 30 second gaps between each rider and 2 minute gaps between each category. Allow plenty of time to get to the start, you will be penalised if arriving late!
Individual 1st run start times will be posted on the notice board in the registration marquee on Sunday morning. After the 1st run, if there is time there will be a break, otherwise 2nd runs will follow immediately. 2nd run start times are re-seeded from 1st run results and will be posted on the notice board.
A two timed run format will be used with the fastest run time from either run counting towards the race result. All results are posted on the notice board in the registration marquee.
PRIZES
Medals will be awarded for individual rounds down to 3rd position in each category.
Series points will be awarded at each round down to 50th place in category.
Points from your best 8 from a maximum 12 runs will count towards final series positions. In the event of a tie, the final series positions will be decided by the 2nd run result at the final round.
Trophies, product and cash prizes are awarded for series winners to 5th position where applicable on a pro-rata basis of 1 prize per 5 qualifying competitors, unless the race organiser decide otherwise.
National Ranking Points are also available to British Cycling licence holders down to 30th place in each category.
