From Marian's play book.. The Slovakia Ring was opened as a purpose built test track in 2009 and has played host to World Touring Car action since 2012. Conveniently located just 30km from Bratislava Airport, and 35km south east of the capital, the track was designed by Austrian architect Hans Roth. Featuring 14 turns, the Slovakia Ring ties together long radius corners with high speed straights. It's also being used for various cycling events like criterium racing and long distance endurance events.

Derbyshire's Chesterfield provides the playground for Mark's crit.
The loop starts with a slight kick and fast down hill as we descend to the valley picking up speed passing over the dual carriage way and through a skate park and via a footbridge, just because we can. Passing the 1900’s banked cycle track in Queens Park, before heading up a sharp kick back to the start. The closing 300m uphill sprint should put the cat among the pidgins in the shadow of the ever present crooked church spire.

The finale of series 7 takes place on the classic Richmond Park - Clockwise then Anticlockwise course - start and rotate at Roehampton Gate - finish by the cafe Many London based RGT'ers will find this very familiar... A 21 km 215m loopage of Richmond Park with a mass sprint potential finish should the lumps not have shelved the powerful lumps.. Punchers paradise.

Individual Competitions
- Open Category (eveyone)
- Over 45s (well those born before 1978)
All riders will automatically be counted in the open category competition. Unless we are already aware from previous series, for other categories you may need to notify us if we can't get age info from RGT or RGTDB. Please contact Nick Greenhalgh
Team Competition
A separate competition also exists for Teams. Simply contact Nick Greenhalgh to enter your team consisting of a minimum of two people (max of 4).
The aggregate of the best two points results from each team in each event will count to team series standings.
A club may enter multiple teams but riders can only enter one team. You can add a team, add riders to your team or swap out unused riders in your team up to the beginning of the 3rd round.
Points
Points will be allocated by place using the USA Crit scoring mechanism.
Riders in sub-category (Over 45s ) will have points allocated in the same way for their own standings e.g. the first rider in category across the line finishes 5th in the open category and scores 175 points in the Open Series standings but 200 points in the Over 45’s standings for first place in the that category.
There is an open and Vets GC for all races in the series. Ties in final series standings will be decided based on the best result in the final round that at least one of the tied riders competed in.

Fair Racing
We encourage fair racing and trust the honesty of our participants. But for those averaging well over 4 w/kg, you may on occasion be asked to verify your data. Please don't take this as an offense but a compliment on your performance. If you do not respond promptly to any enquiry or are unable to validate the performance, you will be DQed from results until such point that can be proved valid.
Signing up to eBioPassport.com with a public profile can help avoid conjecture by sharing data to validate your performances.
Note: If any rider suspects another rider of suspicious performance or any other misdemeanor including inappropriate in-ride chat, please first report to the race organiser rather than confronting it yourself through in-ride chat or our social communities.
