2024 Women's Series is here!
We want to encourage more women to race the Combine, and as an incentive we are running a simple points-based award series, rewarding both results and participation. The series encompasses ALL grades and ALL races on the calendar. The riders with the top 3 accumulated points at the end of the season will win prizes (actual prizes tbc).
Here is how it works:
start a race = 1 point, plus...
Top 3 placing for all scratch races (1st = 5 points, 2nd = 4 pts, 3rd = 3 pts)
Top 3 placings for each category in the ITT (1st = 5 points, 2nd = 4 pts, 3rd = 3 pts)
Top 8 female placings in handicaps (1st = 5 pts, 2nd = 4 pts, 3rd to 8th = 3 pts)
Start 3 or more races = bonus 5 points
Start 5 or more races = bonus 10 points
Promoted up a grade = bonus 5 points (judges' discretion)
Top 3 on aggregate points at end of last race = series winners.
Presentations to be made at the end of the final race of the year (Sep Hawthorn Race)

The Northern Combine supports equal opportunities for women to participate and race in events. This is achieved through the efforts of the Women's Coordinator and each club's commitment, as well as the Combine committee as a whole. We welcome your thoughts and assistance on how this can be improved. Please contact the women's coordinators Alison and Corinn women@northerncombinecycling.org
