Probably a silly question , but , will there be points for the A4 race ? Not sure what you mean by non competition.

A4's cannot compete in "Championships" hence a seperate race, but it is a race and so normal points apply.

Didn't say non competition I said non championship,
A4 is deemed a non championship category,so it will be a normal open A 4 race with full points as its over 50km.

Munster had an A4 Championship this season in Blarney.

Tut Tut!

I wouldn't worry about it. A4 is a novice category but if they want to give our medals...

This Leinster Champs is a very good addition to the calendar and I hope it goes well.

Vets is a cat that only matters in the nationals. A4 riders cannot ride championship events.
CI rankings are ability rated not age so as an A4 you rider the A4 event (PS i'm an A4 so not looking down on you and a Vet...)

If you are an unattached rider registered in Leinster, but born in another provence, you can enter, right ?

Hi

How will we apply for entry? Will it be through the CI site or on the day in Dunsaney? Will numbers be limited?

No pre entry required.On the day entry only.Numbers are not limited but given the time of year huge fields are not anticipated.

Still looking for volunteers to help please..There are approx. 150 clubs in Leinster so one from every few clubs even would do the trick..Would be nice to have a safe and enjoyable provincial championship..Thanks in advance.
