National League 2008

Joe Daly Cycles and Louis Garneau Women’s National League 2011

The women’s National League is one of the main events on the women’s calendar, catering for female cyclists (Junior and Senior) from the Novice racing level to Elite. In 2010 many of the Irish Squad members used it as part of their training and racing programme, while many of the beginners used it as an ideal opportunity to get some valuable race experience in women’s racing.

This year the Rules can be dowloaded HERE and the dates can be found in the events section HERE

For everyone else:

11 points for first place, 10 for second, 9 for third, 8 for fourth, 7 for fifth place and 6 for sixth place. Everyone else gets 5 points for racing.

This new system should keep a bit of suspense in the racing, and encourage more of you to turn up. The excitement, learning, and training that you acheive from these races is fantastic. The more people who turn up, the more exciting the race and league becomes.

There will be six races of which your best 5 will count.
