Update Information

Sat 10 March 2007 - Ian Taylor

Race records have now been updated to include any records set to date.  The current list can be viewed by selecting calendar above.   Hill & Dale records give the best time regardless of the route direction.  A few records and dates are not known to me - if you can fill in any blanks please do so.

For the Championship races in 2007, the scoring system has been moved up by 50, so that the winner gets 100 points, second 99 points etc.  In previous years some competing athletes received no points if they finished in 51st place or below.  This will make no difference to the leading championship positions.  Categoriy positions are worked out separately.

In the Grand Prix series points in up to any 6 out of the 11 races will be counted, with the winner getting 100 points, second 99 etc.  There will be no separate category list with category winners identified from the overall list.  The next Grand Prix race is Glenariff on 17 March (perhaps we should be running up Slemish that day instead?)

The European Championship this year (on 8 July) has a junior team entry.  The all-Ireland team will be selected at the European Trial on 17th June in the Wicklow Mountains.  Note that the Trial start has been switched to the West side, at the bottom of Camara Hill (as in a previous trial) & not as in the calendar.  More info on this will appear later.
