These are the handicap pairings for Wednesday 9 May drawn by Mike Edwards and handicapped by Paul Winchcombe.
For those that are wondering how the handicapping works I can explain the math but perhaps not the logic, but it is based on last year’s times, this year’s handicap for the Jack Nunn Series, this year’s results and an assumption that if someone has never ridden faster than “X” that if paired with someone whose time is “X-3”, they will not achieve a greater magic than “X-2” for example.  Hopefully last year’s wild swings will not be repeated but past performance (as they say in finance) is no guarantee of future performance.

Rider 1	Rider 2	Handicap
Owen Burgess	Simon Cox	Scratch
Simon Kay	Emma Angove	0:00:45
Martin Priestley	Mike Gibbons	0:00:45
Paul Winchcombe	Andy Summers	0:01:00
Ian Potts	Sue Crane	0:01:45

Remember you can come and ride as a solo rider for a time and that we need help on the night or one of the pairs will have to give up their ride.
