Prizes - Over $6000 total prizes in cash and merchandise! Prizes include minimum top 3 cash for each race (except Cat 5's, who are allowed to receive only trophies/medals). M40+, Women, and Jr.'s are scored separately. Cash prizes will be awarded for Overall placings in all categories except Cat 5 (again, a trophy/medal limitation). We will also award trophies for the top 3 overall of each category at the end of the series. In addition, we will offer Cash and Merchandise Primes.
March 21, 2002: New announcement for team prizes! The team that scores the most points in the Pro/1/2/3, 3/4, 4, and M40+ races will win a nice, huge trophy. In addition to that, Carpe Diem Promotions will award a "TBD" prize. Finally, for the Pro/1/2/3, 3/4, and M40+ races, we will be giving away the following Bethel Cycle provided prizes:
Pro/1/2/3 Race: Four Pairs of Vittoria Rubino Pro Tires, $320 retail value.
Category 3/4 Race: $200 in Extran Juice Packs
Master 40+: 4 Motorola Communications Systems, $250 retail value
BETHEL CYCLE and FITNESS
has generously donated the following prizes -
Festina Watches for overall winners for Pro 1/2/3, 3/4, Wm, Jr, M40+, and 4's. They also donated the overall team prizes listed above. Finally, they assisted in landing other sponsors including the two below.
TOPOLINO has donated
a wheelset for overall raffle. You will receive one ticket for every race you enter. At the end of the last Pro 1/2/3 race, we will draw tickets until someone present matches tickets. You MUST be present to win any raffle prizes.
CANNONDALE
has donated a CAAD 5 frameset for the overall raffle. Like the wheelset, you will receive one ticket for every race you enter. At the end of the last Pro 1/2/3 race, we will draw tickets until someone present matches tickets. You MUST be present to win any raffle prizes. The drawing will happen at about the same time as the wheelset.
NOTE: VOLUNTEERS! We have need for helpers on March 16th (Sweep Day) as well as during the Series. The Bethel Spring Series is known for the clean, swept road surfaces, even though the race happens at the beginning of the season and the rest of the roads are salt and sand covered. This is not an accident. Sponsors, promoters, and cycling fans help sweep the course the day before the first race, and the mornings of each successive race. If you would like to earn free entry into one of your weeks of racing, volunteer for the Sweep Day! You will receive free entry for 1, 2, or 3 races on a week of your choice (you must be qualified to race in your chosen races). In addition, we appreciate any help in setting up or breaking down the races. For each week you help with either, we will offer you one free race. Please email me if you would like to volunteer or if you have any questions. Thanks!
Upgrade points -
According to our former District Rep Tom Vinson, the Series
cannot count for *all* of your upgrade points. However, you may list each
result separately on your resume. Category 5's can use the Cat 5 race. Cat
4's may use either the 4's or the 3/4's. Cat 3's will probably need to use
the Pro 1/2/3's (unless 60 Cat 3's race the 3/4 race). M40+, Women, and
Juniors can list their race, however, the field sizes may not meet minimum
upgrade requirements. Based on the estimated time of each race, all should
be long enough for upgrade purposes.
Course -
The course is a wide, secure, 0.90
loop with one hill.
Other Information -
Very cool looking Leader Jerseys will be handed out to each Individual Overall Leader each week. One
will go to the following categories: Cat Pro 1/2/3, Cat 3/4, M40+, Women, Juniors,
Cat 4. These will be returned each week, and the overall winner will keep
one at the end of the Series. Bethel Spring Series Points will be awarded
each week, 1st = 7 points, 2nd = 5 points, 4 pts, 3pts, 2pts, and 1 pt for 6th
place. The last week will award 7 places per race with the winner getting 10
points, then the next 6 places being the norm, i.e. 7, 5, 4, 3,
2, 1. These are not to be confused with USCF upgrade points - they do
not count towards your upgrade.
Promoter reserves the right to combine or separate classes. Field Limit 100 (50 for Category 5).
