StoneCircle Time trial
Wayback MCC are pleased to present our inaugural Time Trial, in association with StoneCircle.
Riders will set off in 20 second intervals for a course of 8-10 minutes in duration across varied natural terrain including hills, banks, logs, mud and roots. There will be eight observed sections on the route, each scored 0 (clean), 3 (footing), or 5 (fail). Multiple riders can enter sections at the same time, unless prevented by an official due to force majeure.
A target number of laps and a 'Standard Time' will be set by the Clerk of the Course. Riders will have to complete the target number of laps, and lose 1 mark for every 30 seconds over the standard time, with the winner being the rider who has accumulated the least penalty points when the points for time and observation have been accrued.
There are two sessions with different section difficulty:
Clubman (Novice/ Red type sections), commencing at 10am
Expert (Inter/ Blue type sections), commencing at c.12.30am
The course is fully taped so as to make the route clear and prevent course cutting. Will you open the throttle and try to keep a clean timesheet? Or take it steady with your feet up?
Entries will be online via RideACU ONLY.
