NSWMTB - Sydney Summer Short Track XC Series Round 1
November 18th at St Ives Showground.
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]This new event is designed for all riders from first time racers all the way up to experienced elite riders. Based around the successful short track format from previous years, this event takes it to a new level by introducing a series of elimination rounds prior to the final race in each category.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]The elimination races allow for novice and riders new to racing to get a taste of what it is like in a friendly atmosphere and in a short race that does not demand great fitness. The same format is also attractive to the top riders as it can double as an interval training session as well as giving them valuable race time.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Event details:[/FONT]
- [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Categories for the elimination races will be Men's A, B and C, Women's A and B with separate individual races held during the event for novice riders and kid's (U/10 and U/13). [/FONT]
- [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Race times will vary from 20 minutes for the elite riders down to 10 minutes for the novice and kid's races. The final race in each event shall be 5 minutes shorter than the other races.[/FONT]
- [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Depending on entries and the track capacity all riders may start in the first race or the category may be split in half. Either way all riders in the final event will have ridden twice beforehand.[/FONT]
- [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]The final race is to have at least 10 riders with a minimum of 50% of finishers from the preceding race progressing. The numbers of riders progressing from the first race is dependant on how many riders are need to give the minimum of 10 in the final race. In some cases all riders may progress to the second race if there are not sufficient numbers.[/FONT]
