JUNIOR GEAR REQUIREMENTS

Please note that ALL competitors in our league are required to adhere to Junior Gearing Restrictions. In a nutshell, measure out 26' on the ground; put the bike in its hardest gear; spin the crank so the arms are vertical; walk the bike backwards.... the crank arm should NOT rotate more than one complete revolution (i.e. one complete pedal revolution should not push the bike further than 26').

The best gear combinations to use are 52 chain ring/14 smallest cassette cog, or 45 chain ring/12 smallest cassette cog.

Others can work but are smaller gears (spin out more quickly).

If the bike doesn't pass, you may also block out gears with the limit screw on the rear derailleur such that the rider doesn't have access to a gear that is too big.

Please send me an email about this if you have questions.

2014 NERCL TEAM REGISTRATION

To help defray the cost of race timing, the fee structure has changed this year. The new cost is $150 per school, PLUS $10 per athlete participating in the League. Thus, for a team with 10 athletes, the registration fee will be $250 for the 2014 season.

THE LINK IS NOW ACTIVE!

The 2014 league registration page is on bikereg.com. Team head coaches should click the following link to register their team and pay their league dues for the season:






The league dues satisfy the costs of the awards trophies as well as the timing services of Pioneer Event Services for all races.


***PLEASE NOTE, ONLY SCHOOL TEAMS MAY REGISTER, NOT INDIVIDUAL RIDERS***

The NERCL is open to school team registrants only, meaning all riders must take part under a school racing team competing under the guidance of an adult coach (who can be a parent of a rider). Any secondary school, whether public or private, is welcome to register for league competition by using this page. The head coach of the team (or parent) should enter his or her contact information as part of the registration process.

PLEASE NOTE THAT LEAGUE DUES MUST BE PAID BEFORE A TEAM WILL BE ALLOWED TO RACE (this is to prevent racers from showing up without coaches and racing without supervision)


2014 Season Coaches' email list

PLEASE NOTE: After April 5, 2014, ONLY teams that have registered for the league will be included on the league email list. To be included in league emails, you must register for the league on bikereg (see link above).

ALSO NOTE: THE TIME TO UPDATE COACHES EMAILS IS WHEN YOU REGISTER.

Holderness weather conditions

From John Teaford:




Hello coaches



Holderness is preparing for tomorrow's race, and we thought we'd communicate our intentions in the event of poor weather.



Though the forecast is for rain (70% chance), at this time there is no reason to consider cancelling or postponing the race. If rain is falling at race time, we will race.



While the day is likely to be rainy, the forecast does not predict high winds, nor is there a high likelihood of thunderstorms. The race course is quite straight, so there is little worry about slippery corners. If conditions change to a point where racers are threatened with lightning and/or high winds, we are willing to postpone or cancel the race at the last minute. Obviously, we hope that won't happen.



We expect temperatures in the 40's, so all riders (and spectators) are advised to dress warmly. Bring extra layers for after the race.



If it is rainy and cold at the finish, we will not ask teams to remain in the area for presentation of awards (awards will be presented after the Gould race, if conditions allow).



We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.
