The Rainford Evening League for 2009 will begin on Wednesday April 15th.
Meet at the north end of Ormskirk Road, near the Wheatsheaf Pub on the
Rainford bypass, to sign on and collect numbers - £1 per race for club
members, £2 for guest riders. For the first event (April 15th), and also the last
two (Sept 2nd/9th), the first rider will start at 6.45 pm, the remainder of the
races through the summer will start at 7pm. Allow enough time to ride from
here to the start near Bickerstaffe Church (about 2 miles).
The series comprises 22 ten mile time trials on course D10/1 (Course Details).
The winner of the series, and the recipient of the Holden Cup, will be decided by
the total points gained over the best eight rides for each rider - 20 points for
1st Wigan Wheeler, 19 points for 2nd etc each week. In the event of a tie for
the series, the winner will be decided by the lowest aggregate time. To qualify
for the Holden Cup you must have carried out marshaling duties twice as set
out on the Marshaling Rota.
The Series will be promoted jointly by St. Helens and ourselves. St. Helens will
promote the first segment of five events and the third segment of five. We will
promote the second and final segments of six events. We need to provide 3
marshals each week. St. Helens will look after Rainford Island, whilst we will do
the M58 turn. The Wheatsheaf island will be jointly marshaled by the 2 clubs.
Any other club member who has a spare evening will, of course, be warmly
welcomed - the more the merrier.
