Birmingham Midland Cycling Time Trial Series 2020 — How it works
The Objective is to provide a safe and simple way of enjoying a season long competition.
To achieve this, riders who register are allocated a performance group based upon declared previous performances. (This grouping will be reviewed as the series progresses). The groups are Fast, Intermediate and Slow group (old vets group)

So in effect you’re racing against riders of similar ability

Under normal circumstances we ask riders to join BMC as an associate or 2nd claim rider. This requirement will be waived for 2020 .

The registration fee of £35 covers all entry fees to ride all 21 events. After each event all rider are allocated points against their position within the group

20 points for the win, 19 for 2nd, 18 for 3rd etc etc

There are also Vets and Handicap leagues

Your 15 best performances are then totalled to give a position with your group at the end of the Series.

This is a tried and tested formula that’s gives low key but serious competition at all performance levels. While you represent your own club and compete in friendly competition.

Awards are then presented at the BMC Curry Night and presentation evening. This is likely to be held at the Old Farm Hotel in Bournville (hopefully in November). Providing we do not get further lock down and social distance restrictions.

2020 (Corona) Time Trial Series (last updated 18th July – subject to change)
Following the easing of lockdown we still need to observe social distancing while holding Time Trials and with so many Open events being cancelled Birmingham Midland Cycling are promoting The BMC series of events for the remainder of the season, based on the following criteria:-
1) The 21 events will be organised and priority given to riders who register to compete in the series. The registration fee is £35 for the series this entitles you to entry into the events and the competitions running throughout the series. See the separate events details.

To register for series:- http://www.demon-cycles.co.uk/bmc/bmcform2020.xls. Enter your performance details to be allocated into a performance group. You will then be allocated a race number to run through all the events. (This reduces the cross infection risk as you will retain the same number for all events)

Please note:-
• At the start there will not be a starter push off so be prepared to self-start.
• These events are for Solo Senior riders only (no juniors)
• No 2 ups teams.
• No tandems

2) Signing on and parking. HQ this will be at the Public Carpark by Knowle village hall off St Johns Close. No Competitors cars are to be parked at the start – we need the space to socially distance.
Arrive in your race kit ready to go. (No flashing in the car park please)

Sign on at the control table keep distant from other riders and proceed to the start arriving no more than 3 minutes before your start time. Keep at least 2mtre between you and the rider in front.
After your ride return to the carpark, hand in your number if you are a private trial, do not stop at the finish. Results will be published online on the BMC website and Facebook page. www.bmcycling.org.uk and on the Facebook group (BMC in two wheels we trust) Keep alert keep distanced.
3) Sign On time for evening events is from 6.15 to 6.45 pm and for Sunday events 8.15-8.45am
4) Private trials will be charged at £5 per rider. (This figure is to minimise cash handling, so please bring the exact change) These will be accepted only if space is available after the series-registered riders. To ensure a race then consider registering for the series and save money.
Acceptance of private trials is at the clubs discretion. After riding please return your number to the bucket at the signing on site in the car park.
5) You are required to bring your own Pins and Pen for signing on. Rider information may need to be shared with Track and Trace authorities if we are requested to do so. Involvement in these events assumes your acceptance of this requirement.
6) Do not congregate. Remember the public perception, so please do not congregate at the car park or elsewhere. We appreciate the temptation to want to chat will friends but we must all ensure that we don’t bring cycling into disrepute with the public.
7) The maximum field is 30 riders
8) There are no “kit drop” facilities

Riders are responsible for ensuring that their bikes comply with CTT and are suitable for the public roads, including the red rear light. No light = No Ride
There are no toilet facilities close to this course, so be discrete
