CHB CYCLING PRESENTS THE PHILLIP BURNS MEMORIAL CRITERIUM

WAITANGI DAY (Friday February 6th)

OTANE
Next week, instead of the Tuesday evening ride, it will be on Wednesday, Waitangi Day.  This is a special event - a criterium in memory of Phillip Burns being held at Otane.  Registration for F & E will start from 12:30, with the marshalls needing to have the equipment set up prior to that.  The times listed below are indicative only, so make sure you register well before your race time.

Race start 1.00pm - f grade - 15 min
Race start 1.20pm - e grade - 20 min
Race start 1.45pm - d grade - 20 mins
Race start 2.10 - c grade - 25 mins
Race start 2.40 - b grade - 30 mins
Race start 3.25 - a grade - 40 mins

This allows 5 mins between each race.
There will be a sprint every 5 minutes on the whistle,  & the bell will be sounded for the last lap. 

Points for each sprint are:
1st - 5
2nd - 3
3rd - 2
4th - 1
Double points for last lap.

The race is won on the rider with the most points not first across the line.

The registration forms will be a little different, and will just be numbered 1, 2, 3 and so on.  The first person to register in each grade will be rider no 1 & so on down.  You will need to write your number on your leg.



Also at Otane on that day is their Country Fair.  There will also be an opportunity to socialise at the Otane Hotel after the event.

Come on down to Otane for this the 2nd Phillip Burns Memorial Criterium.
The circuit is around a paddock which means that spectators and waiting competitors
view all of the action. A picnic atmosphere and a great way to celebrate Waitangi Day.
