Percy Stallard o60’s Series

Dear members, from John Ginley:
STALLARD O60’S SERIES 2020 DATES AND DATA O6O (E) & O65 (FGH) and Women’s series.Following the recent notice from Mike Jackson I’m pleased to provide a table showing the events and dates for the new O60’s Stallard series. Each event in the series will have 2 races an E race and an FGH & W (women’s) race. Depending on type or organiser they may start at normal minute(s) intervals or be separate races. The series presently comprises 11 events with the possibility of a further event in the pipeline.Firstly, I must express sincere gratitude to the organisers and club/bodies for promoting and including these events in the series.

Two of the organisers and clubs are actually promoting both O40’s Stallard and O60’s plus another event from Mike Avery and VC Sevale. Mike’s event also includes a separate Women’s championship Road Race and we hope this event plus the O60’s series will encourage more female participation.The Organisers for road events will provide a minimum of 30 places for each race and where police limits allow up to 40.Points for the series will now go down to 10th place in each round. Your best 8 rounds will count, and you’ll have to ride a minimum of 6 rounds to count towards a series overall position.May I also like Mike thank our long term sponsor of the series Ken Jones & Chris Spencer of Onimpex BioRacer UK are going to continue to their amazing support with both series.When Don initiated the O65 series it was to encourage more O65’s to continue racing well hopefully with the increased number of events it will encourage ALL O60’s plus women to take part. Look forward to seeing large fields in 2020 Finally would organisers kindly ensure the RIDER HQ entry includes a title ‘Stallard O60 series event’. and the O65 event includes FGH&W (women) – Entry fee is set at £20.
