HANDICAP TIMES

HOW HANDICAP TIMES WORK Tonight there were a couple of questions on age on standard results. This

year, these will be used for awards at the end of the season. For those of

you unfamiliar with this system, it is a handicap arrangement, giving riders

a time bonus based on distance and age above 40. For example, a 54 year old

woman who does 26 minutes for 15km, will be given a bonus of 1’12”, resulting

in a handicap time of 24’48”. A 65 year old man who does an actual time of

1h. 15’30”for 40km will be given a bonus of 8', resulting in a handicap time

of 1h07'30”.

Full handicapping tables will be published later in the season.
