Does anyone know what the RR format for next season is going to look like?

I heard, it escapes from whom, that Div 1, Div 2 etc is going to be different... a bit vague but this is the whole point of the forum!

Hi Kev,

I think I saw something similar in an email from Duncan recently. From memory, the new format is not yet finalised, but the plan was to be for larger all-encompassing races. I guess there will be a "natural sorting" then, with the fast boys up front and the rest of us out the back!

Cheers,
Alasdair

I was emailed a sample calendar by a friend. Just mail me -

if you would like it. First race looks likely to be the ERC Super Six 1 on the 1st of March. Really nice course. Entries are on Entry Central so they will probably go quite fast.

Sorry, just realised he got it from the SCU website -

Is it the Humbie course? Heard of it but dunno any details. Where does it start and what route does it take?

Thanks

I quote the organiser:

The details on the BC website are incorrect at the moment. I hope to get this sorted out soon. What I can tell you is that the location of the first round of the Super 6 is Gifford which is 3 miles south of Haddington. See the attached document for the course that is being used and lap profile. The circuit is a fast rolling 8 mile loop with two big ring type climbs. The finish is flat just out of Gifford. I rode the circuit yesterday and the roads are nice and wide and not a pothole in sight. The A event (E,1,2,3) will be 65 miles (8 Laps) and the B event (4th, 3V,J,W) 40 miles (5 Laps). You will hopefully hear more about this race and the Super 6 Series in the weeks/months to come.
