4 For The North Competition
The aim of the ride series is to reward the thinking rider and promote good preparation and skilled riding; riding at a speed suited to the terrain, avoiding elimination, and finishing with a low heart rate.

Points are rewarded using a variation of the french formula, to ensure a level playing field. There are a number of qualifying rides in the competition, with the best 4 results to count.

The Northumberland and Tyneside Group are grateful to the sponsors of this competition.
