This is a mass start event, ie everyone starts at the same time.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Each rider will have a handicap but it is not known to them until the finish. The aim is that the faster riders have to drop the slower riders and that the slower riders have to try and hang on as long as possible. So it would be possible for a rider to finish 5 minutes after the first rider crossed the line and still win the handicap because they had a handicap of 6 minutes.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Prize money will be paid on this race.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Obviously a lot of consideration has to be given to the handicaps so there will be <b>NO</b> entries on the line.
