Details:

It's back, Tuesday Night Racing at Rydal.

As off this round every will need a working light on their bike or helmet

Women and kids under 16 get free race entry (License fees apply)

Also the come and try incentive is back too, so your first race with us is free.

If you could click the star to show your intention of coming so we get an idea of numbers that would be great.

6:30 race start so 5:30pm rego opens, if you are new or need to renew your license please turn up earlier rather than later.

We are fairly relaxed, A grade just means you do more laps and we encourage every one to have a go, we don't have podiums or prizes so it's about getting out there and competing against your own time and your mates.

So don't be intimidated by the "race" tag. We all just go out to do our best.

Doing the higher grade with more laps will gain you more series points.

There is a shorter track for juniors and we've had increasing numbers in u13s and u10s

Racing starts at 6:30pm

Lights

Lights are a must from outside day light savings and you wont be able to start unless you have atleast one working front light

We recommend at least a 5w halogen equivalent.

You can get powerful el chepo LED from just about any where but if you are after something top notch check out the Aussie madeK-lites from out good friend Kerry Stait.

And now for something completely different....

For a bit of fun and to spice things up we're thinking XC Un-eliminator

What the hell is that?

How about we set a super short course up around the show ground, we'll add corners add stuff to make it interesting.

everyone puts their name in a hat and 4 are drawn. Those 4 race each other around the course. First gets 4 points, second 3, third 2 and last 1.

once every one has ridden names go back in the hat and we do it all again.

We'll get riders starting every minute or so, so there's not too much standing around but the ideas is to have a bit of a crowd egging you one.

Draws will be random so any one (not in Gavs group) has a chance to win, plus you might get last race on the first draw but have to back up straight away on the second.
Kids get a separate draw.

We'll keep doing that for an hour or so and winner is who has the most points at the end

If people have other ideas don't be scared to put them forward for future arounds
