H/caps for TTs
New H/cap system for TTs We have decided to apply a simple h/cap system for the 10, 25 and Hill Climb Your h/cap will be based on the the 5 groups into which riders are slotted for the CPs and your h/cap will based on whatever group you are currently riding with. If you go up or down a group, then you h/cap will change to that of your new group. In the case of the most recent TT, the 10 mile Group 5 - Scratch, Group 4 -1 minute, Group 3 -2 minutes, Group 2 -3 minutes and the Limit Group is allowed 4 minutes. Much the same for the 25 mile using an interval of 3 minutes, and an interval of 30 seconds for the groups in the hill climb. If you check out the most recent results you will see that the riders who rode impressive times are still within the points. I have looked at TTs from the past and this system works quite well although the lower groups would still be outside the points in the hill climb but we feel that with the added incentive of the h/cap they might hurt themselves a bit more!! In the past we have used systems that were labour intensive and not so transparent and like all systems were imperefect. Well this system is also imperfect ............but it is transparent!!

Re: H/caps for TTs
Hi Hugh, I see the handycapped results are now up. I normally start in Group 3 in the races and I think it's only fair that I get handycapped 2 minutes not 3 putting me from 1st back to 4th (I think). Fairs fair and I don't deserve the 1st place even though I did turn right for about 10 yards on the last corner, doh! Note to self: Don't follow Andreas!

Re: H/caps for TTs
You were listed in group 2 on the list I had, but you must have been (deservedly) promoted since then!!! I will ammend it and I will ensure i have the latest list next time.
