Proper Northern Road Race Series

In 2022, Cold Dark North brings you a series of three National B (E123) road races which we’re calling the Proper Northern Road Race Series. The Series is for teams and individuals. There will be separate Men's and Women's races. Equal prize money will be awarded to both.

 

Race Rounds

As you’ve come to expect, our races take place on familiar grippy Northern roads with summit or hill top finishes. Weather is almost always a factor too. Proper racing on proper courses.

 

Round 1 - Sunday March 27 - Capernwray Road Race

Round 2 - Sunday May 15 - Aughton Road Race

Round 3 - Sunday July 10 - Oakenclough Road Race

 

The Men’s races will take place in the morning and the Women’s races in the afternoon of each race day.

 

Prizes 

Each round will have Men’s and Women’s:

 

Individual podium prizes 

First Junior

Team prize

KoM/QoM

Combativity Prize

 

Individual Riders

There will also be an overall series winner in each of the above categories (except Combativity).

 

BC Points will be awarded as usual. Series Points will be awarded to the first 20 finishers.

 

Team Series

Both Men’s and Women’s Teams will be made up of the following:

 

Minimum 4 riders/maximum 5 (3 riders count for Team Series Points)

 

Teams and Individuals will be informed whether their entries have been successful on close of entries . Preference will be given to Teams entering all three Rounds of the Series.

 

We will accept entries from “composite teams” made up of individuals.
