    I gave them the points to save any arguments, seems it caused more.

    I have’t spoken to Dave, he was going to be scoring these races and I noticed that they hadn’t been scored, so I took it upon myself to score them, as Dave would have. So until I hear anything more, those breakaway points will stand.

    Against what I believe should be scored.

    Yes, just what I said above, the team bonus doesn’t matter if they finish, just have to start the race.

    It hasn’t always been if they finish the race, those rules apply to the classics, or were supposed to, until I didn’t score them.

    Now it is, as long as the rider has started the race, the breakaway points as far as I know are still they HAVE to finish the race. As it is being scored like a one day classic, any group of 10 or under will a minute lead at the half way point will get 10 points, IF those riders finish.

    Depending on where you are in
    Depending on where you are in the group when the touch occurs and if you can stay upright, there are a number of choices.

    Dab the brakes a little and move right or left of the rider you touch, depending on where they start going. Don’t do this if you are in the middle of a group.

    Swing off away from the rider you touched, again, not in the middle of a group.

    If you find yourself right in the middle of a group and happen to touch wheels, try and keep as straight as you can to let others avoid you.

    Other than that, I’ve never had another situation that I didn’t end up on the deck.

    Also, in the heat of the moment, your brain will take over and panic anyway. It is not something you can practice, train or plan for.

    Instinct will make you grip the bars and turn, you’ve just got to try and hold steady, if you are on the way down, let go of everything, your cleats should clip out themselves, where as if you hold on tight, you are going for a nice slide with your bike

    Getting the 1-2 and having to fill the rest of the team with no hopers plus a cheap German and/or Brit = 95 (if Martin or Wiggo come first)

    Getting 3,4,5,6 and affording a couple with reasonable chances of getting in top 20 = 93 at least….

    I would get in touch with http://www.sotonia.co.uk/

    Sotonia formed out of a number of different clubs in that area in the 60’s I believe.

    They may be able to point you in the right direction, it doesn’t seem that Eastleigh CC still exists though.
