Time Trials -easy version of drafting rules:
If you come up on another rider you have two choices:
(1) To remain at least 7 meters behind the rider in front of you or
(2)Attempt to pass the rider in front of you. If you attempt to pass, you have 15 seconds to do so. If you do not pass within 15 seconds you must drop back out of the 7 meter drafting zone. If your front wheel passes the front wheel of the person you are overtaking that person must drop back out of the 7 meter drafting zone. The passed rider must drop all the way out of the drafting zone before attempting to re-pass the rider ahead. 7 meters is about 21 feet or 3 bike lengths

Time Trials
We have decided to apply a simple h/cap system for the 10, 25 and Hill Climb
Your h/cap will be based on the the 5 groups into which riders are slotted for the CPs and your h/cap will based on whatever group you are currently riding with. If you go up or down a group, then you h/cap will change to that of your new group.
In the case of the , the 10mile TT :-
Group 5 - Scratch, Group 4 -1 minute, Group 3 -2 minutes, Group 2 -3 minutes and the Limit Group is allowed 4 minutes. Much the same for the 25 mile using an interval of 3 minutes, and an interval of 20 seconds for the groups in the hill climb. If you check out the most recent results you will see that the riders who rode impressive times are still within the points. I have looked at TTs from the past and this system works quite well although the lower groups would still be outside the points in the hill climb but we feel that with the added incentive of the h/cap they might hurt themselves a bit more!!
In the past we have used systems that were labour intensive and not so transparent and like all systems were imperefect. well this system is also imperfect ............but it is transparent!!
