How do I win the Ribble Winter Racing Series?
- First and foremost, you have to be in it to win it. Everyone who enters one of the events will be in with a chance of winning a prize.
- The more races you enter, the better your chances to win.
- League points are awarded to the top 50 finishers.
- Amass BIG points for Sprints and KOM/QOMs.
- And it's based on the best time, not first over the line. Meaning there will be races within races.
- Even better, if you participate in multiple events throughout the series, the Ribble team will nominate those riders who demonstrate the biggest improvement in w/kg average for a special ad hoc prize.
- And finally, if you complete the whole series, your best ten results will contribute to your overall league standing.

The Ribble Winter Racing Series runs throughout the winter until the clock rolls forward and you start dusting off your summer gear.
