barry davies replied to Antony Bethell's discussion NWCCA counting events"Ant, I can remember when we had 3 races every weekend, North West Sat and Sunday morning then a quick drive over the Pennines to ride in Yorkshire.
Think every year in the 70's rode over 40 races in the uk and abroad.."
Dave Haygarth replied to Antony Bethell's discussion NWCCA counting events"I couldn't agree more Ray. I'm not a 'current' race organiser OR one of those who ever find the time to attend the AGM ... OR anyone who can do anything even approaching ten events through my own choice, so will willingly butt…"

Kelly Baptista replied to Antony Bethell's discussion NWCCA counting events"Ray
If the rule was running in 2007 what happened in 2008-2009 season, according to final league table on NWCCA website for that year looks like 10 out of 16 events…"
Dave Haygarth replied to Antony Bethell's discussion NWCCA counting events"Crikey it's good to see all this enthusiasm for the league anyway. Was chatting to a running friend the other night who saidf they saw someone throw their bike on the floor at a NWCCA chipper race the other week after the finish!…"
mark turner replied to Antony Bethell's discussion NWCCA counting events"Hi Ray,
just to say I organised the Hope CSP CX race in October assisted by Alan Dorrington, we are currently looking at two venues for next year and i am also looking at a 3 or 4 race summer series!
hopefully depending on the date of the agm i will…"
Ray Pugh replied to Antony Bethell's discussion NWCCA counting events"All, this is my opinion and not the NWCCA Committee on which I sit.
Regarding the number of races, the 75% rule was running back in 2007, just checked on the website, when there was 9 counting out of 12. So its not changed over the years as it…"
Antony Bethell replied to Antony Bethell's discussion NWCCA counting events"Giles!
I think you missed my point on this one! The point here is not about me or my ability to get 10 races in its about the 150 odd riders who register to get points in. Im still suggesting riders commit a large proportion of there lives to cross…"
Giles Drake replied to Antony Bethell's discussion NWCCA counting events"For me, I've not gone to National Trophies or Inter-Areas because I knew I needed at least 10 rounds for the league. I had some bad luck earlier in the season and I needed to make up some points. I found out this past weekend it was going…"
Antony Bethell replied to Antony Bethell's discussion NWCCA counting events"Your right about the National Trophy Mark. Not many do it. Its just another factor. I know a few lads are not doing them so they can get the league points in. Would be a shame to race 8-9-10 times and miss out on the overall from attending the NT or…"
mark turner replied to Antony Bethell's discussion NWCCA counting events"12! what is strange to me is that this number has appeared in November, this should be decided at the begining of the season not mid point when riders have already selected the events they can attend.
It seems we are at a watershed with the NWCCA…"
Dave Haygarth replied to Antony Bethell's discussion NWCCA counting events"I feel 12 is way too many too. I look after the NWCCA website (but am only the messenger!) and cringed that there wasn't a "number" on there from day one this season. That's just bad communication, which doesn't…"
Alan Dorrington replied to Antony Bethell's discussion NWCCA counting events"Totally agree Antony - I've moaned about this for a while now. I too struggle to do 10 and 12 is hopeless.
Yorkshire leaguers have a lower number to count as far as I am aware and this makes it very competitive still. Additionally, my…"
Antony Bethell replied to Antony Bethell's discussion NWCCA counting events"pps. This does not affect me this year cause i have no chance of fitting work around 12 races. Just thinking about the credibility of the league. CROSS CROSS CROSS!!!"

Hello cross riders! I was wandering what people thought about the format for the league for overall qualification? Last year I personally struggled to get my 10 events in, as like many I work on a Saturdays. I was training with a team mate this week and we talked about how much more competitive the overall league would be if maybe 8 or 9 events counted instead of the normal 10. There are 16 races in the league this year with 3 or 4 on Sats and a few Sundays clashing with major races. It will…See More
