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.

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.
