to ride in open time trials the committee are proposing an award for
the best average times based on three 10s, two 25s and one 50, over
the season. For the current season events already entered will be counted.
Peter Wright will coordinate, more details later.
- Booking system
update: A potential problem has arisen when two people are logged
in and try to reserve the same number simultaneously, resulting in one
overwriting the other. There may eventually be a solution in the coding
to prevent this, meanwhile we recommend after selecting a number and
logging out, click on View
Bookings to see if your name is where you expect it to be. If
it is not, then login again via TT
Bookings
and select another number.

The
Mids CTT is piloting a new ranking system for open events,
similar to British Cycling's Elite, 1st Cat, etc. To show how this
works results have been calculated using 2009 results and these can
be viewed on a new website:
-
Mike
Bloom sets a +12-47 for a 30 mile Vet
on Std. As we have not had a 30 mile record in this category
we must assume this establishes a club record, unless someone can
produce a counter-claim.
