Remaining prizes will be called as random spots.
POINTS SYSTEM
Like last year, the most important thing is the Teams event between MTB, Roadies and Runners. The MTB’s won it last
by sheer weight of numbers, but it's wide open this year with the prediction that the Runners will be out in force and the
Roadies as always want to look good. All starters get points for their team. The winning team gets bragging rights for
the rest of the year.
