RESPEDA SERIES
 The amateur racing series for next year have now being firmed up. We named it Respeda Series (Respeda = Race Speda = Bicycle Race) and there will be 10 races planned - 6 'flat' routes and 4 KOMs. Tentatively, the races in the Respeda Series will be on the following dates:

The Flats
11  Jan 04  -  Malacca
20  Mar       -  Negri Sembilan
15  May      -  Selangor
17  July       -  Perak or Putra Jaya
18  Sep      -   Kedah
      Nov      -   Perlis

KOMs
22nd  Feb  -  to be decided
         Apr  -   to be decided
         Jun   -   to be decided
         Oct  -  Genting Challenge

It is going to be a team race whereby all team riders who raced in their own categories will contribute points to their teams as follows:

4 points for winner
3 points for 2nd
2 points for 3rd
1 point   for all finishers 

And the maximum number of riders per team will be 10 and in the following age categories:
30 and below,       3 riders
31 - 40                 2 riders
41 - 50                 2 riders
51 and above       1 rider
women (open)      2 riders
 
A team could still race with less than 10 riders per team but the team would then lose on points from categories where they have no riders. At the end of the 'season' the team with the highest aggregate points will be declared the year's champion. Please get you teams ready as the first race of the Respeda Series will be very soon on 11 January 2004 in Melaka.
 
The Registration forms would be out soon but team captains, for further information, please contact  Pujangga @ 02012-2152838 (dialing from S'pore) or
