    Results are calculated as follows:

    Apart from veterans/ladies the average speed for each qualifying ride is calculated rounded to 3 decimal places.  The overall average speed is calculated by adding the averages together and taking an overall simple average.

    For veterans/ladies, the average speed is calculated as above.  The average speed at the appropriate standard is then calculated for each distance and compared with the actual average speed to produce a ‘plus’ or ‘minus’ mph for each distance.  These are then averaged to give an overall ‘plus’ or ‘minus’.  A separate veterans on standard award is made for the veteran with the largest overall “plus” against standard over 10, 25 and 50 miles.

    A trophy will be awarded to the winner of each category in each competition together with a medal.  Medals will be given to the 2nd and 3rd in each category in each competition.  However, the Committee reserves the right to vary the awards according to the number of participants and it reserves the right to make special awards or to introduce handicapping as necessary.
