This classification will rank your performances over the season against other social cyclists, and will reward you for commitment to the bike as well as constant improvement.
Each event in the series is a stage in the summer cyclists’ Tour of New Zealand. You don’t have to complete each stage, but you do need to do at least two in order to get a ranking.
You ranking will be based on your best three results. The rankings are calculated this way to ensure that winners are the fastest and most consistent riders, not necessarily the ones who ride the most event.
As with any Tour, there will be yellow leaders jerseys, bragging rights and a saddle bags full of prizes!
