martin booth replied to barry davies's discussion Splitting large race numbers..."Hi ben,thanks for that information,but it is a little off track.The debate here is how we manage to cope with huge numbers of riders.If we used that "Italian " model we'd be looking at field sizes of around 300-350 in many…"
ben warburton replied to barry davies's discussion Splitting large race numbers..."Here in Italy its split into two races,race 1 cadets,juniors,seniors and vets each group set of at minute intervals so there are 4 races happening at once.race 2 gentleman,super gentlemen A ,super gentlemen B ,women A and women B also all set of at…"
barry davies replied to barry davies's discussion Splitting large race numbers..."As someone who has never ridden a BC cross, only BCCA -TLI -NWCXG races, can someone explain why National Vets events are timed as follows
Vets 40 + race time 40 minutes.
Vets 50+ race time 35 minutes.
When most league races held weekly are an hour…"
Philip G replied to barry davies's discussion Splitting large race numbers..."We voted at the London League AGM to split the races for next season. Veterans can choose to race in the senior race if they want but as a senior for senior points and prizes.
In some ways, an A and a B race on ability would be better but this would…"
Dave Haygarth replied to barry davies's discussion Splitting large race numbers..."Points determine gridding in National Trophy and National Champs. At that level, gridding's pretty significant as the rider levels are more aligned, so it's not as easy to just pop round someone politely saying 'on yer left'…"
Pete Middleton replied to barry davies's discussion Splitting large race numbers..."Points are important as they ultimately determine a grid position at the Nationals.
If the proposal goes through to assist with races (league members only) then won't that make everything easier for the organiser and lap…"
mark baker replied to barry davies's discussion Splitting large race numbers..."Why do BC have a points system for cross anyway, it's not as if you can move up catorgries like in road racing! At the end of the day it's a league, how many people who take part are bothered about BC points anyway?"
barry davies replied to barry davies's discussion Splitting large race numbers..."Ray, my head hurts !!!!! sounds more like a maths competition that a cross race, there is a lot to be said for keeping things simple !!"
Ray Pugh replied to barry davies's discussion Splitting large race numbers..."There are some very good points raised.
We seem to agree about the need for split races. Originally it was my view that the choice of which race to ride was down to the rider, but with BC points for the Vet category going to the…"
barry davies replied to barry davies's discussion Splitting large race numbers..." Great to read the comments, the wording for the AGM is ' a proposal will be made to split the Veteran and Ladies races with the Senior and Junior riders.' there is no mention of veterans having the right to ride the…"
John Bethell replied to barry davies's discussion Splitting large race numbers..."The problem would be how to assess ability, at the start of a season it could possibly be done by using the previous years league placing but the number of events ridden for that placing could then be a factor. After the first year a…"
John Bethell replied to barry davies's discussion Splitting large race numbers..."Thanks for the compliment Alan.
Sadly I am no longer active in the Cross world but I am still a very dedicated supporter of the sport and although I will not be at the AGM personally I expect my club Macclesfield Wheelers will be well…"
Dave Haygarth replied to barry davies's discussion Splitting large race numbers..."Yorkshire is a relevant case study. Most vets indeed race the vets race, and there are as many awesome vets in the Yorkshire league as there are in the north west... But a few race the main race. Their porogative, but in Yorkshire it's been a…"
Alan Cook replied to barry davies's discussion Splitting large race numbers..."Well there's an interesting point, John...
Very fortunate to have two chaps, in your good self and Barry, who have been there, done that, had the t-shirt, then cut it up for bike-cleaning cloths
I hope you can attend the AGM on the 9th"
