Welcome to Series 4 of Friday Frenzy brought to you by Southborough & District Wheelers (SDW).

SDW Friday Frenzy is back for Series 4 with a twist, starting Friday April 8th at 18:30 UTC+1.

This will be a short 6 round series with best 5 results counting. No prizes on this occasion, just a fun frenzy blast with friends!

The twist is that each round will be co-hosted with one of our regular teams, each of whom have submitted a local or iconic course to them from their various corners of the globe. Each week, the co-host team will be throwing out the challenge to come and take them on in their home patch.

No matter what your level, whether as an individual or a team, for one race or the whole series - do come and join us for some friendly and fun racing on some great Magic Road courses.

Individual Competitions

• Open Category (male and female)
• Women
• Over 45s
• SDW Club Members

Riders can enter multiple categories (e.g a female 50yr old SDW member can feature in all 4 categories). All riders will automatically be counted in the open category competition. Unless we are already aware from previous series, then for other categories you will need to notify us as we don't get age or gender info from RGT or RGTDB. Please contact Simon Miller

Team Competition

A separate competition also exists for Teams. Simply contact Simon Miller 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 with the team's best 5 of 6 stages counting to the series.

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 as follows: 100, 95, 80, 85, 80,......[2 points less per place from 5th down to 20th]… 78, 76, 74, 72, 70, 86, 66, 64, 62, 60, 58, 56, 53, 52, 50 …[1 point less per place down to 69th]. Any rider coming in 70th place or above will still earn 1 point for each race.

Riders in sub-categories (e.g. Women, Over 45s and SDW) will have points allocated in the same way for their own standings e.g. the first female rider across the line finishes 5th in the open category and scores 80 points in the Open Series standings but 100 points in the women’s standings for first place in the women’s category.

In all categories and both individual and team comps, best 5 of 6 stages will count to 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.
