Jo Barter Memorial Trophy Series 2010
For those of you who have not competed before, these races are fantastic speed sessions and are races against the clock every Thursday night. It really is simple and you can race against your own personal time each week and watch your improvements over accurately measured courses.
Each race gives Tri Club members a maximum of 20 points for the fastest rider, 19 for 2nd, 18 for 3rd and so on. Totals are added each week and the series winner is the rider with the most points at the end of the season. Again, this year there will be double points for the last 3 races for everyone to encourage riders to race right till the end of the season. The more you race, the more points you get. There is a fantastic trophy for the winner. Previous winners include Simon Oliver, Wendy Howells, Les Morris and Brian Turner.
The races are organised by our good friends the Hereford Wheelers who make us all feel very welcome and do an excellent job officiating whatever the weather. There are several other races organised by the wheelers and this can be obtained from their new web site
