We are proud to be the first and only cycling sportive challenge in the UK to stage a King of the Mountains and Sprinter Jersey points competition. This is how it works…
Sections of the course will be marked out to indicate a point classified climb or Sprint section.
The KOM start and high point will be marked by a series of red painted lines across the road.
The Sprint Points zone will be marked by green paint. A circled number at the start line will indicate the distance in metres or km to the finish. For your safety a motorcycle outrider will wave a flag to indicate whether the classification will be opened and become live or not. If the flag waves, then the race is on!
The KOM and Sprinter competition will both operate on a points system. The first three places will be awarded twelve, eight and six points respectively. The rider with the highest number of points at the end of the course wins the KOM / Sprinter jersey and a one off pair of hand painted SPY OPTIC KOM / QOM Sprinter sunglasses, as well as the infamous Slaughterhouse meat cleaver trophy.
HARD MAN COMPETITION
This award is for the fastest solo rider on both 105km and 170+km courses. You will not be permitted to ride in any pack and will be issued a uniquely coloured number so other riders know who you are out on the road. You will have to specify on the online registration form that you wish to enter this competition. The prize will be worthy of your lone suffering, the Slaughterhouse Maillot Jaune (Yellow Jersey) and SPY Optic sunglasses
RACE NUMBER RAFFLE
Simply hand in your race number to the Admin Staff at the finish point and you will automatically be entered into a draw to win a seriously spectacular prize or runner's up prizes. Watch this space and our facebook page for news of what the lucky riders will walk away with....
