CBC M1 Lent Bumps 2024 Friday

Caius Boat Club Men's First VIII start 2nd in division 1, having rowed over twice this week already. Yesterday Downing came within half a length before being pushed away along the reach. Today Downing are chased by a resurgent Magdelene, all while Caius M1 continue the chase for the headship.

How do town bumps work?

[@DrFaroon]

Same way as College Bumps. Crews start 1.5 lengths apart and chase each other up the cam. When a boat bumps the boat in front, both boats pull into the bank. If boat 4 catches boat 3 before boat 3 catches boat 2, the next day boats 4 and 3 swap places at the start. 4 days racing in total. Boats that go up 4 get blades, down 4 get spoons, the top prize is head of the river, top of Div1.

@@DrFaroon oh right, thanks. It looked odd as the 8+ are all trying to outrun each other and catch the boat ahead
