Telling the story of the New England Cycling season.
For 2015 The New England Bicycle Racing Association is pleased to announce a revisioning of the NEBRA points series. Starting with a diverse group of New England’s most prestigious events, the NEBRA Trophy will tell the story of the best all around riders in New England.
A roadmap for the future
It is our hope to add additional events and additional point tiers to the series in future years to expand the reach of the NEBRA Trophy and to elevate the level of New England Cycling events.
Series Overview
With the advent of Road-Results.com and USA Cycling ranking points it has become redundant to score every New England event for NEBRA points. By switching to a select series we can more effectively recognize the best road riders and the best road events in the New England region. This is by no means a definitive selection- in future years the series will expand to include more events and more points tiers.
Some of the first years series guidelines:
Points will be awarded 25 deep in each category
For each series category one road race and one criterium will award double points
Points standings will be available at www.road-results.com
For races with a Category 1/2/3 field, Category 3 points will come from that field
