Points for Racing

slowmoving

Hi all,

I've been cycling for a year or so now, joined the club, doing the training, totally addicted, you get the idea.
I am hoping to start racing this year in A4 and would like to know are points available for ALL the races on the cycling Ireland racing calendar. I know that they'll vary depending on numbers, distance etc. I am well aware that this may not even be relevant to me yet, I might not be really competing! :P
I am obviously getting really excited for the start of season.

Thanks in advance.

I hate to spoil your enthusiasm, but I see some very talented ex A1 and A2 riders sandbagging A4 races. In my humble opinion, these guys have absolutely no business riding what are essentially beginner events..:rolleyes:

Thanks for the replies lads. Clears up my confusion. We'll see about getting the points down the road. Will just try to keep enjoy/suffering as much as I am at the moment and see how things pan out.

.Hope you're not off on one of your rants again.Respect for fellow cyclists is what gains respect from fellow cyclists.
And sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

Firstly Mr 1, who wants respect from fellow cyclists?
Secondly, did we not all enjoy the old "bowld as brass" Pawlie more than the new Pawlie with this respectful professionalism vibe about him?

You'll learn.Attitude like that and in the sport a wet day.Stinks to be honest.
A very famous now deceased cyclist had a theory that if you didn't have friends in the bunch you'd get nowhere and he raced for 40 plus yrs.Not a wet day.

HA!
I've seen this guy in the A4 group trying to break on windy days and working up the front at his ease, totally chilled and respectful in the peloton. That's where you win/lose respect, not a forum website IMO.

hate to butt in but wav1 is one of our top volunteers across all age groups of the sport and needless to say he has the respect of a huge amount of the community...

having reread your post can I ask if you are threatening another member of CI?

Not threatening anyone,I am saying if he has anything to say about me say it person to person,just because he is a member of CI does that give him the right to mouth about me.

Just because he does work organising races which is great,well that does not give him a platform to judge anyone.

jaysus lads, can't we all settle down hey! Pawlie, I have raced with ya and had cups of tea and banter with ya after races recently. My post seems to have been taken the wrong way, leading to others getting involved. I was only taking the Mickey, meant in jest.

While the ensuing posts have been entertaining to read, lets put it to bed!

OP has got more than he/she bargained for here!!

Padjo5 you know I'll settle anytime.My pet hate is just to see cyclists put down in sarcasm.[maybe Pawlie did slag you in jest]If your cool then we're all cool.Never really fell out with anyone involved in the sport for too long anyway.Always temporary.
