WINTER SERIES

A series of races at the Kelly Road circuit at Te Tumu (same as Thursday nights).

The Winter Series is a series of four races run out at the Kelly Road circuit at Te Tumu (same as Thursday nights)

The first race is "mass start" - everyone starts together. The placings and times from the first race then determine the handicaps/grades for the next three races. Points are allocated for each placing, so it is well worth channeling your inner Cavendish and sprinting as hard as you can, even if you are down the finish order, as it can make a difference when the points are tallied up at the end of the series.

There are points for just turning up plus points over and above that for every placing in the race

Race starts at 1.00pm each Saturday, with Registration from 12.30pm. Meet on Kelly Road, about halfway down the road.

Open Grade - 4 laps (44km)

Under 17 - 3 laps (33km)*

"Slay Grade" - 2 laps (22km) for recreational riders

Under 15 - 2 laps (22km)*

*Junior riders can ride the Open Grade if they want to, but once a grade is selected, you remain in that grade for the entire series.
