The circuit is 3.9 miles long, on very quiet roads.

2. Points are gained on rider’s own improvement each week.

3. New riders will begin on one lap and progress to multiple laps on attaining a time standard (see below).

4. Riders who have competed in the previous season may, on their first week of participation, elect the number of laps on which they start the new season, up to and including the number of laps attained in the previous season.
