This event is the second running of the team race for women riders first held in 2013.  The 2014 race will take place on Saturday 20th September 2014. 

There will be a change to the 2013 course for 2014 however the format will remain as previous with a morning prologue event of approximately 5 miles (instead of the previous short, hilly course used in 2013) and a main race commencing early afternoon and being approximately 30 miles in length.  This race will consist of 4 laps of the same 7.3 mile undulating circuit used in 2013.

The Sharon Argue Memorial Trophy will be awarded to the best placed team following combination of the prologue and race results.

Teams will comprise a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 riders, with the best 3 individual results counting towards the team competition.

Riders will ride the 5 mile prologue as an individual time trial.  The rider with the fastest time will receive 1 point, 2nd fastest 2 points, 3rd fastest 3 points, and so on down the field until all riders completing the course are allocated a score.

The three best scores for each team will be combined to give an overall team total for the prologue.

The same scoring format will apply to the afternoon road race i.e. the winning rider will score 1 point, 2nd placed 2 points, and so on.  Again, the three best scores will be combined to count towards the team competition.  The scores for the prologue and road race will be combined to determine the overall winning team.

Riders unable to form a team of three racers from the same club can form composite teams with riders from other clubs/teams in the same situation.  Please advise the organiser of this (along with the names of clubs of the other riders in your composite team) when submitting your entry.

Riders unable to form their own composite team may enter individually and will be allocated a compsite team by the organiser.  Please advise the organiser of this when submitting your entry
