Explanation of Standards system used in Time Trials

The 2012 Annual General Meeting voted in favour of a motion to replace the orginal Standards with a new set recommended by the Standards Review Committee.
These have been updated for 2013. 

Standards form is available from the Recorder (Tony Clarke) after payment of the entry fee.

A table is published in the National handbook, which sets for each distance a standard time (or distance) for each year of age. The rider’s actual performance is then subtracted from their age standard and the result forms their ‘plus’ (or minus where the standard is faster than the actual ride).

 Detailed rules are in the National handbook.

  The 2013 standards  are here  Mens and Ladies Bicycle     Mens and Ladies Trike
