SB Sports Injuries Series – how to win
The SCCA SB Sports Injuries series consists of a number of Type B Time Trials which are organised and promoted by association member clubs. Support your local club and ride county level competition with their SCCA events.
Each club organises their TT in line with CTT rules and regulations.
Members of SCCA Association Clubs and Private members of the SCCA* will be allocated points for each ride based on their finishing position. These points are aggregated through the season to provide a league place for each rider. The SCCA only organises events where is it specifically noted as the promoting club.
SCCA is not the race organiser for the other events and the creation of the league based on club events does not imply the SCCA is the event organiser. Queries regarding Race Organisation should be addressed to the promoting club.
*SCCA is an association of Cycling Clubs. Private membership is only available in special circumstances. The aim of the SCCA is to support the Association member clubs and enhance their Time Trial offering to their own membership.
Based on a range of Association and solo club events promoted by member clubs, the SB Sports Injuries Series is an Inter-club Series designed to give riders a taste of competition against riders from other clubs, where they are assured a warm welcome to step up from competing in just their own club’s 10 mile event. The series acts as a bridge to entering Open events, with a simple entry-on-the-line format and some longer distance as well as some sporting courses designed to enrich the time trialling experience.
All riders from SCCA member clubs automatically qualify for points, whilst Shropshire-based riders of non-affiliated clubs can also join in by taking out private SCCA membership. For 2020 there are 17 rounds, with bonus points awarded for longer events to encourage riders to stretch themselves. Points from a rider’s highest scoring 12 rounds count towards cumulative positions in each category, with separate points awarded over four categories:
- Overall
- Veterans on Standard – for over-40 riders, based on how much a target time is beaten (or missed) by. Standards become more generous with age
- Women’s
- Juniors – 12-18 year olds (18 year olds are classed as Juniors for the calendar year their 18th birthday falls in)
It is thus possible for a rider to meet the criteria to be ranked for different points in as many as three categories. Gold, Silver and Bronze County medals are awarded in each category, with the winners also holding an annual trophy each.
Points are awarded as follows:
- Standard: 20 points for a win, 18 points for second down to 2 points for finishing
- 25-29 miles: 26 points for a win, 24 for second down to 4 points for finishing
- 30 miles and over: 30 points for a win, 28 for second down to 6 points for finishing
A tie results in both (or all) tied riders being awarded the higher points, so for instance two riders tying for runner-up spot in a 10 mile event: both receive 18 points.
Non-affiliated riders are welcome to compete, although they will not qualify for points.
Note that from 2020 a fixed or flashing red rear light is COMPULSORY when starting: no light, no ride due to need to comply with insurance conditions.
Reminders of when and where each event takes place will be published a day or two before each event on the SCCA Twitter feed, including a MapMyRide of each course which can also be viewed by clicking on the course description below.
Note that from 2022 a fixed or flashing front and red rear light are COMPULSORY when starting as is the wearing of a helmet. No helmet or lights, no ride due to need to comply with insurance conditions.
