www.Bicisport.com.au• Round 1 Warm up Scratch
• Round 2 No race
•
Round 3 group sprints + 200m fly Div1
• Round 4 Point’a’Lap Poker Race • Round 5 Combines + CNSW Time Blaster 8min 32sec
Explain these races Group 5 lap scratch/sprint Your Division will be split into two heats. So if there are 18 riders in div 2 there will be two heats each containing 9 riders. The race is run under standard scratch race rules. At only 1.25km in length this race is considered more like a sprint than a scratch race.
Poker Race- ran on the same rules as the Point'a'Lap race however, instead of earning points you earn cards. If you cross the line first on any lap you win that sprint and receive 1 card. If you win any additional sprint you receive an extra card. The winner of the race is the rider who has the highest card. Ace of hearts is the highest Two of Spades the lowest. Don't worry you don't have to carry the cards with you; we keep them on the desk. ‘
Luck plays a part but you can make your own luck in this race. As riders win a sprint I will be announcing their position on the poker ladder. 
200m Fly procedure • A handler will be on the back straight waiting for you
• As the previous competitor goes past doing their final lap, you will be push started
