Grades

As the opening race of the season we are offering you the chance to nominate your preferred grade without any re-grading by the club handicapper. If you've been training the house down over the summer break put yourself up a grade! After this event we will revert to grading by the handicapper.
The following grades are on offer:

• A, B, C, D (all grades are combined male and female)
• Women
• Junior A: This category is for most U15 riders and those U13 riders with developed fitness and racing skills - approx 20 min + 3 laps.
• Junior B: This category is for U13 riders and those U15 riders who are new to racing or are developing their riding skills - approx 15 min + 3 laps.

Please nominate in comments when entering which grade you would like your junior entered in. Final decision is at the discretion of the Commissaire and Junior Coordinator - Road. Additionally, consideration will be given for juniors (U15 and above) to progress to senior graded racing where possible. Again, this is largely dependent on having a sufficient number of juniors racing to allow Junior Graded Racing to occur alongside juniors progressing to senior grades.

New juniors, including those from other clubs, will be required to participate in a competency assessment process before being allowed to enter a criterium or road race. This is arranged through the Junior Coordinator -Road and Club Coach.
