November 12, 201510 yr Am I also correct in saying the over 50 class in the Normandale series now has to ride 50/50 course ,i.e. half main route ,half eased route ? . fine but wonder what the thinking was on this ? probably be a lot of old gits struggling now (including me ! ). I hear the over 40's ride a hard route, Over 60's an easier route and the over 50's do a 50/50 of the 2 routes.
November 13, 201510 yr Just to clarify the Normandale series. It is for three classes, Over 40, Over 50 and Over 60 on any machine the rider chooses. It is recommended that the organising clubs have two routes. Over 40 would ride the harder route, over 50s a mix of the harder and easier routes and over 60s the easier route. However, some clubs (Lancs County MCC is one) have in the past chosen to have one route for everyone, which is OK as long as the clerk of the course sets it out sensibly, taking into account that a 69 year old rider is likely to be less able than a 40 year old.
