Tonight is the final round of the Orwell StickyBottle.com Women's Crit League, finishing as we started with the 10TT at Batterstown.

It's the same course as R1, so a great opportunity to measure how much your strength improved over the six weeks of the league, or if you've been able to improve your testing abilities if that was your first TT.

It will also decide the final overall standings, and the winner of the league. There's two battles at the top of each category - Sandra Fitzgerald vs Rachael Kaye-Mellor for the A group and the title of league winner, while Towers duo Lisa Darley vs Eimear O’Reilly are fighting it out for the B section win.

You can check out the points table here. 

With all the Giro excitement, we didn't manage to set up pre-registration for sign-on, so it'll be first come, first served. Sign on from 18.15-18.50 to get your time -  riders will be set off from 19.00, and should present themselves at the race start 5 minutes before their time.

Afterwards we'll have the traditional feeding and prize-giving, so bring some warm clothes for hanging around!

Parking: Black Bull lay-by (map)

Sign-on: from 18.15-18.50 along the R154 at the TT start point (map).

There is space at sign on to park, but please don't. Batterstown is a well-raced area, and parking at sign-on causes the residents to complain further.

Course: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2435003

It's a 16km/10m out and back time trial. There is a marshalled roundabout at the halfway point, but there will be no other marshalls on the course.

Remember to go the whole way around at the roundabout - 4th exit, back the way you came!

The IVCA are also running a race through the roundabout tonight, so if you have the misfortune to be on the roundabout at the same time as a group, stick tight to the inside of the roundabout and keep moving all the way around - don't follow them.

Cost: €5 if you haven't pre-paid.

Licence: you must have at least a limited competition licence to take part. There are no one-day licences available.

Rules:

• All riders must obey the rules of the road at all times. The roads will not be closed, and only the roundabout will be marshalled. Keep your eyes on the road ahead, not on your front wheel.
• No warming up on the course.
• Aero bikes and equipment are allowed.
• Club kit (including skinsuits) is preferred, or else plain kit.
• No drafting. If you catch another rider check that there is no traffic coming up behind you before pulling out, and give them loads of room as you pass. Remember they may have no notion that you're steaming through until you have actually passed them.
• On the other hand, if you are caught, keep on going at your own pace, don't be tempted to try sit on to the rider who has passed you.
• When you cross the line, shout out your number (i.e. the minute of your starting time). Without your number, the time-keepers cannot record a time for you.
• Please don't hassle the timekeepers for your time - there's no problem asking, but make sure to do it at a time when there aren't any riders coming in.
• There will be no toilet facilities available. Anyone caught urinating in public will be disqualified.
