KZN Cup Douglas Mitchell Sports Ground 11 JUNE 2011

2011 KZN MOMENTUM HEALTH SHORT COURSE SERIES


The 2011 KZN Momentum Health Short Course series is, as in previous years, being run by the KZN MTB Commission directly BUT the first 4 events are different from that of 2010 in that these are being run in batch format that is designed to encourage greater participation and development of all riders. Please note that this is NOT a schools series, but the official KZN Provincial Series.


VENUES
• Event 1 (Sunday 1 May 2011) – Kearsney College, Botha’s Hill (Batching)
• Event 2 (Sunday 15 May 2011) – Roy Hesketh, Pietermaritzburg (Batching)
• Event 3 (Sunday 29 May 2011) – Holla Trails, Ballito (Batching)
• Event 4 (Saturday 11 June 2011) – Douglas Mitchell Sports Ground, Margate (Batching)
• Event 5 (Sunday 17 July 2011) – Karklook Country Club (Age Category Format)


FORMAT FOR EVENTS
Event #5 will be the usual XC format where riders race in their age groups. Events #1-4 will be in the Batch Format described here.


Batch format racing pits riders against others of similar strength, irrespective of age or gender, resulting in an overall improvement of the standard of all riders. Thus we could have youth men and women riding against Elite men in Batch A.


Each batch will race for a specific time plus 1 lap. This will ensure every rider gets full value from the event as they will not be pulled off the course if they are lapped (as is done in conventional XC racing).


Registration: up to 45 minutes before the start of the race at the event itself.
