The final round of the winter '10's was run off on Saturday in near gale force Northerly winds, but a

good turn out saw Nick Sayer ride a personel  best for the Helpston course of 24'07" to make him

unbeaten in the Scratch League this Winter. He also won the Handicap event and gained himself a

handicap cut. Nick Hitchens had a good ride to be only 20 seconds of his P.B round Helpston to

take 2nd place. This gave him enough points to pull level with G.Siggs in the Handicap League and

means the Handicap Winter League Title is shared by Greg & Nick.

Ther were 2 Guest riders this week:

                                                           P.Davis    0:24:33  (St.Ives.c.c)
                                                          C.Rimes    0:24:49  (Fenland Clarion)

Result & Final League Standings

There will be some slight changes to the Summer ‘10’ League for 2009 to

try and make it more competitive. These changes are as described below.

*    Handicaps will be exact. There will be no rounding to the nearest 15 seconds.

*    Points will be awarded 20 for the win then 19,18,17 etc. down to 1

*    The handicaps will be phased in over the first 3 weeks. This will be done by using an average of the last 5 recorded times for the first week. Then for week 2 an average of the last 4 rides plus the 1^st weeks ride. Then an average of the last 3 rides plus week’s 1 & 2 times. Then an average of the last 2 rides plus week’s 1, 2 & 3 times. The handicap at that point will be used until it is beaten.

These changes will take effect from the start of the League on April 16^th 2009.

There will also be a new race category run in conjunction with the Handicap & Scratch League this year.

This will be a Vets Standard League.

To be eligible for this category you must be over 40 years of age.

If you wish to participate in this league then please let Chris Harwood or Tim Cockerell know your Birth Date so you can be given your Vets Standard Time.

Points will be awarded as they are for the other two leagues & the best 8 results will count.
