Tuesday Night Heffron by Easts Cycling. Week 7

The event is run on a unique handicap format over 15 laps, where the elite A-grade riders start last and have 15 laps to catch the B and C-grade riders.

Handicap racing is an intense from of racing, as each grade has to work cohesively to stay away from the chasing grades.

Final Grading will be at the discretion of the Race Handicapper.

Race Start order

- 1st - B-Grade start race first (40kph+)

- 2nd - C-Grade start second @ 45sec (37kph +)

- 3rd - A-Grade start last @ 2.30sec  (44kph+)

Time gaps are determined on the night based on number of riders, strength of each bunch and weather conditions
