      Chip timing

      New for the 2013-14 season is chip timing. This means that you’ll get reliable, comprehensive timing data … but only if you remember to wear your chip!

      Race in category

      If you wish to accumulate League points through the 2013-14 season you need to do a couple of things:

      • Join the League, or be a member of a League affiliated club – details;
      • Ride in your correct Age category – Categories.
        • Handlebar bar ends NO bar ends

          Reminder – Handlebar ends

          The League does not permit bikes with bar ends in it’s races.

          Equipment pits

          The equipment pits will once again be divided into “manned” and “unmanned” areas – please use appropriately.

          Reminder – the pits are a potentially dangerous work area and must be treated as such.

          There is lots more information in the Riders – Useful information section.

          … and finally, have a good safe race!
