2012 Season - Club Time Trials, Hillclimb and Downhill Competitions
In 2012 we will be holding a total of 18 Club Time Trials, 1 Open Time Trial, our Hill Climb, a 25 mile competition and the Social Group Downhill Competition. The Club 14.8 mile race on the 7th April will be either a two up or individual race as in previous years.
Our 2012 Club Competitions will be as follows: (Unless obvious to the contrary, “Club Members” includes both men and women).
THE HANDICAP TROPHY
This will be awarded to the fastest first claim Club Member on a handicap basis. Each rider who wishes to compete for this trophy must have ridden five 10 mile races and two individual, (not 2 up), 14.8 mile races before the 31st July 2012. This can be any of the Club or Open events that we are holding.
The Time Trial sub-committee will then review the entrant’s times up to that date and give each rider a handicap. This will mean that the fastest Club rider at each distance will be given Scratch ie. (NO time allowance) for that distance and the slowest rider will be given a handicap time of, say +7minutes to reflect the fact that their qualifying time is 7 minutes slower than the scratch rider over the same distance. All handicap allowances will be at the discretion of the committee after reviewing the season’s performances.
Each rider will then ride the 14.8 mile race on course GS/189 on the 31st July and the 10 mile race on course G10/57 on the 7th August which will be the qualifying events for this trophy. The handicap allowance will then be removed from the times actually recorded and the rider with the fastest nett time over both races will be declared the winner.
Of course, riders who do not want to participate in the Handicap Trophy competition may still enter the qualifying events but in the case of over- subscription, preference will be given to those who are in the running for the trophy.
SCRATCH TROPHY
This will be awarded to the first claim Club Member that produces the fastest aggregate time for a Club 10 miles and 14.8 miles race. All Club events count plus our Open Time Trial.
VETERANS TROPHY
This will be awarded to the first claim Club Veteran Member (over 40) that produces the best aggregate plus against the VTTA/CTT standards for a Club 10 miles and 14.8 miles race. All Club events count plus our Open Time Trials. Veterans standard times will be based on their ages at the 1st March 2012.
POINTS TROPHY
This will be awarded to the first claim Club Member with the largest points total at the 21st October 2012. There will be a maximum of 30 points for the fastest rider down to 1 point for the 30th placed Club rider in all of our 10 mile and 14.8 mile events and the Hill Climb. When allocating points for this Trophy the finishing positions of 2nd claim and other riders will be removed from the results of individual races.
HILLCLIMB TROPHY
This will be awarded to the fastest first claim Club Member in the Club Hill Climb on the 21st October 2012.
LADIES TROPHY
This will be awarded to the first claim Lady Club Member that produces the fastest aggregate time for a Club 10 miles and 14.8 miles race. All Club events count plus our Open Time Trial.
JUNIOR TROPHY
This will be awarded to the first claim Junior Club Member who produces the fastest aggregate time for a Club 10 miles and 14.8 miles race. Their times must be recorded before their 18th birthday. All Club events count plus our Open Time Trial. Only riders using standard road bicycles (not specialist aerodynamic time trial machines) will be eligible.
THE 25 TROPHY
This will be awarded to the fastest first claim Club Member in the Southern Counties Cycling Union 25 mile time trial on course G25/53 on the 9th September 2012.
SOCIAL GROUP DOWNHILL TROPHY
This will be awarded to the first claim Social Group Member that covers the greatest distance in the Social Group Downhill “Freewheeling” Competition to be held on the 16th September 2012.
To qualify for this Competition members of the Club must be recognised members of the Social groups.
In the event of any queries on eligibility for this Trophy the Social Group Ride Co-ordinators will advise.
------------------------------------------
All Trophies with the exception of the Veterans Trophy are available to any first claim Club Member. The Veterans Trophy will be awarded to the fastest veteran rider who has the greatest plus against standard time who has not won any other Club Trophy.
We hope that the rules are self-explanatory but if anyone requires any further information please ask Stewart Forbes, Mike Cross, Bryn Reeves or Peter Delve who will be pleased to help.

If you subsequently turn up later than 20 minutes before the start, you will be placed on the reserve list behind those who have asked to be reserves, irrespective of whether they are Club members or not.
