EntryBoss Online Entry Cut Off Change
ON LINE (EntryBoss) Entries:
We will be changing the race entry cut off time on EntryBoss to 6pm.
This is to support us in race administration, i.e. to confirm all licence verifications, set up emergency contact and start lists, as well as allow the Handicappers to confirm all the gradings.
Our preference is that entries are online, as it allows us to conduct this planning and saves time on race day.
Date Change for FCC Legends Race
Due to the availability of key people, we’ve had to reschedule the FCC Legends race. The event will now take place on Sunday, 9th November, instead of the originally planned Saturday, 1st November.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you all there!
Points Race Format
Sprints will be held at different points throughout the race. Sprint laps will be signified by the bell.
Points will be awarded for the first 4 riders across the line during each sprint.
1st – 5
2nd – 3
3rd – 2
4th – 1
*** Rider with the most points at the end wins. ***
Regardless of who crosses the finish line first at the end of the race.
