West London Series Four is a series of 16km races over 13 races every other Wednesday at 7.30pm (UK Time) on RGT. The races are based on local roads in and around West London although Series 4 also includes a special trip over to Belgium for one race!

The General Classification is based on the results of all 13 races with each race winner getting 100 points, then 99 for second place, 98 for third down to 1 point for 100th, place 101st place etc (so all finishers are guaranteed at least 1 point).

There is also, new for Series 4, the SIX TIMES TABLE COMPETITION, a sort of Green Jersey to accompany the GC Classification, where any rider's best six results are aggregated. This may suit riders who can't make every race.

Alongside those there is the team classification. Teams can be of 1 to 4 riders and the top two finishers points (as calculated above) are awarded to the team. The highest placed team at the end of the series wins. Rider should enter each race as individuals and we will calculate the team results. To enter a team, email us at westerleydm@gmail.com. You can tinker with the team line up before a race by emailing us the day before on westerleydm@gmail.com.

There is also the 21 Done Club Award for any rider completing 21 Races. If you are eligible (You can check your total on www.WestLondonCycling.com) please email us your address at westerleydm@gmail.com and we'll posyt out the award.
