24th May

Horsham

 I-Spy Ride;

This is similar to a treasure hunt ride but with a route provided and observation questions en route. 5 points for starting and 5 for finishing. Starts from Pulborough Station. Route Sheets and clues available at the start from 9.30 to 10.00

7th June 

Arun Adur

 Green Ride

The Green ride is an approx 50 mile ride starting from Billingshurst Station at 09.45. The intention is to pass through places with the word Green in the name. Bring Chichester and Brighton area maps or team up with somebody with those maps. Further details and locations available from here in the week before the Ride so you can plan a route.. Lunch en route and return to Billingshurst. 5 points for starting and the other 5 points are gained by visiting places with Green in the name and answering a clue which can be seen at the location. I point for nearer locations and more for further away. Maximum of 5 points in addition to the 5 for starting for DA Event purposes but whoever gains the most total points wins this Event.

 

5th July 

Horsham

 Two Weald Ride

The event will be essentially the same as last year. a choice of 4 loops from Wisborough Green of about 25 miles. The control will not be open for as long as before so doing all the loops may not be possible. 5 points for starting and 5 points for completing a 25 mile loop. No extra points for doing more than one loop.If you want to start earlier and do a longer distance click below to download the 2 Weald Ride Route sheets

2nd August

DA Picnic

To be held again at Wisborough Green. Picnic on the Green opposite the Cricketers.

5 points for attending.

6th September

Bognor/Chichester

Arun Crossings Ride

This will be a ride for Mountain Bikes or strong Touring Bikes and involve many crossings of the Arun some on tracks. Start will be Pulborough Station and lunch at the Blue Ship, The Haven. (Suitable lunch point for a Section Meet for those not taking part in the event)

5 Points for starting and 5 points for finishing the entire route

 

POINTS SYSTEM FOR DA EVENTS                                             Top of Page

There will be a cup for the individual with the most points, a cup for the lady with the most points and a cup for the Section whose members gain the most points. The aim of the points system is to encourage participation in events. If an event has a competitive element it will be for the organising Section to award separate prizes to winners if appropriate. There will in general be 5 points for starting and 5 points for finishing an event but please note the details above for each event. Please note there will be no points just for turning up at the start and then going home. There must be some substantial participation in the event and this will be for the organiser to judge. There will be no points just for attending the lunch place of the event (except the picnic)

A new provision to clarify the rules is that if a member attends a DA Event intending to complete it and starts it but is unable to finish due to accident, breakdown or other emergency beyond their control they will be entitled to the full 10 points

In the event of a tie for either the Overall or the Ladies after all Events are completed the Cup will go the Rider who has attended the most of any part of any DA Groups Sunday Rides during the period covered by the DA Events ie from 13 April to 7 September. For the avoidance of doubt it is confirmed that if a Rider takes part in another Groups ride within the DA this will count but if a rider rides with 2 Groups during the day only one ride in a day will count. Rides with any Group or Club not within the DA will not count. Taking part in part of a days ride will count. On days when there is a DA Event, taking part in a Groups ride to or from the DA Event will count but not just doing the Event and not otherwise taking part in a Club Ride.

NOTE - Arun Adur won the Cup for the best Section. For the best individual there was a tie between Dave Galle and Bob Moore. The tie break was attendance on rides during the period of the DA Events from 19 April to 6th September. Dave was on 16 rides and Bob on 17 rides so Bob Moore will be awarded the cup. For the ladies Cup there was a 3 way tie between Louise Galle, Anne Kelly and Gill Threadingham. For the tie break Louise was on 5 rides and Gill and Anne tied again with 11 rides each so the Ladies Cup will be awarded jointly to Anne Kelly and Gill Threadingham.
