    The HERd SHEries returns for a new 7-week series starting on November 23rd. There will also be a new 8-week Women’s Time Trial Racing Series, starting on November 20th. Here are the details…

    What is the HERd SHEries?

    The HERd SHEries is a 7-week women’s category-based series on a Tuesday, with 4 opportunities to race each week.

    The series offers a mix between short and longer races with an individual time trial thrown in for good measure! The shorter races are scratch races (first past the finish line), whereas the longer ones offer points for fastest segment times and bonus points for the category finishing position.

    The fourth season of the HERd SHEries runs from November 23rd to January 4th.

    What is the Women’s Time Trial Racing Series p/b Herd Racing?

    The time trial series is an 8-week series of time trial events with 6 opportunities to race each weekend. This will consist of 2 hilly courses and 6 flat 10-mile (16.1km) flat routes. All racers will start together in Category E and the winner is the first to cross the line!

    The first season of the TT series will run from November 20th to January 9th.

    Stage and Route Details

    James Bailey, Herd Racing DS said “With the SHEries, I’ve tried to find a nice balance between hilly and flat routes. For the points race, I’ve tried to keep it as exciting as possible, with 16 laps of Downtown Dolphin, and a sprint each lap, making it a little bit special. With the Time Trial series, I’ve been keen to keep the non-hill climb events as a steady ten miles to keep the most popular format of the genre.”

    HERd SHEries

    Stage One – November 23rd
    World: Watopia
    Route: Tempus Fugit TT
    Laps: 1
    Distance: 19.7km
    Elevation: 31m
    Notes: Nothing confusing in the prologue event, just a flat dash! This event will use the TT module, so riders will be sent off with staggered starts.

    Route: Greater London Flat
    Laps: 1
    Distance: 17.4km
