Kaimai Cycles Twilight Series

Updated Race Protocol for the 2012/2013 KAIMAI CYCLES Twilight Series
 
The Kaimai Cycles Twilight race series runs between 16 October 2012 & 11 December 2012 and 29 January 2013 & 19 March 2013. See the Event List or scroll down for details.

The Kaimai Cycles Points Series on Tuesday nights is a very popular race series with over 80 enthusiastic people ranging from 7 to over 70 years old taking part each night. A set of rules has been established to ensure everyone’s safety is ensured and that the race can be run efficiently. All riders must agree prior to racing with the official Twilight Race Protocol as stated below. It can be also downloaded from here. 

1. Races start at 6.30pm. Race briefing 6.25pm.
2. Register your entry before 6.15pm to help the grade/handicap allocation.
3. Helpers: We need three people to help run the race every time. Please volunteer at the race the week before. Bring your bike along and if the race organisers don’t need you, then you can race. A list of names will be held to ensure all riders take a turn. We also require one parent to look after the children every night otherwise the children’s racing will be cancelled.
4. Demerit Points: Demerit points will be given for things like bad behaviour, erratic or dangerous riding and interfering with officials while they are working. You will be given one warning then points will be deducted for further offences.
5. Keep on the left hand side at all times during the race. All road rules still apply even during a club organised race. Crossing the centre may

lead to disqualification and withdrawal for the race.

7. Bolton Road finishes: After the race, please remain with the club trailer. Do not go backwards on the course to the finish or your parked car.
