Draft, TEAM   MADIGAN  2012 RACE / EVENTS  CALENDAR

( Draft Club Calendar last updated on 27.01.12 )

A big effort has been made to provide a comprehensive programme of events for our members in 2012 as agreed at our AGM September 2011. Please take a look through the calendar and let me know your thoughts!  Davy Ross. davy_ross@btinternet.com

Marshal Roster for Club Road Races (Note: not Open Races, T.T.s or MTBs)!  Riders will be selected by name in a running order from A to Z or Z to A.   This will change around each year!   We have 8 Club Road Races that need Marshals. It works out at around 4 or 5 Marshals per race.  Each adult club member Marshals one race only!  Non competing members will be selected to cover the Handicap Road Race Cup event so that all racing members have a chance of winning the cup.  25 points for Club BAR and for Category BAR will be awarded for Marshalling. Note: this whole Marshalling system will only work with the support of everyone in the club!  You can swap with other members but you must let me know!  This is so that I can show the change on the roster here on this page.  Most important, if you can't attend a race that you are down to   Marshal you must let me know as I will have to try to obtain a reserve Marshal.

Also we will require Marshals for our Open Madigan G.P. on Saturday 4th August.  As well as the (A) Race there will also be a (B) Race for A4 category riders and a Ladies race, plus an Over 50s race (4 races going at the one time)!.  Please let me know if you are available to Marshal from 11.00am to 1.30pm . Thanks! DR. 
Please advise me if you spot any error in the 2012 Club Calendar below so that I can correct it!

Club MTB League: Best 4 scores from all 4 rounds will count.  To break a Tie on points the lowest MTB Time Trial time will decide. Also note that the MTB Time Trial Championship will count as a round of the MTB League.

Cup.   Note the MTB Cross Country Championship has been withdrawn and its cup will now go to the winner of the 4 round MTB League.
