The BIP Series Points 2025-2026We are waiting to hear that the BIP series still exists. If not, maybe it'll be resurrected someday. In the meantime we'll continue to post points here, on '88', as if the series still continues and give kudos to those who participate and earn it. Where do the points come from? In previous series, the points have been based on the statistical distribution of the women's times in each event and adjusted to give values on a scale that avoids extreme differences. The allocation of riders to Speed Groups was to be determined at the end of the series using each rider's average speed across the series relative to the distribution of all BIP riders. So the cut-offs varied a little from year to year. They were 30.0km/h & 32.2km/h for the 2017 series; 30.25km/h, 32.07km/h for the 2018 series; 29.07km/h, 31.47km/h for the 2019 series and 29.66km/h, 32.74km/h for the 2020 series and so on. In the 2024-25 Early-bird series only five riders completed five rides, none completed four rides but sixteen completed three or more. Sadly, the prize presentation event in 2024 was cancelled due to lack of interest and prizes themselves, including keepsake trophies, have been abandoned. |
