Registration

STRICTLY NO ‘AT THE RACE’ OR LATE REGISTRATIONS

To manage our COVID record-keeping and participation reporting we require all participants (including juniors in the JW and HC grades) to register each week via EntryBoss.

Season pass holders are automatically entered into each race.

BYE WEEKS

If your grade has a bye week do not register for another grade. We will scratch you. Instead, come out and watch the action, or better yet sign on to volunteer that week!

---

Grade Changes

If you would like to request a grade change first read the information on the Crit Info Page.

When you are ready to request a grade change approach our club handicapper Nathan de Tourettes immediately after your race on a Wednesday evening to start the discussion OR email him at handicapper@canberracyclingclub.org.au.

You will not be able to request a grade change on the Wednesday at or before your race. This is to ensure safe and fair racing and to ease the administrative burden on our volunteers.

After each 5 week block of racing the CCC handicapping committee will meet and determine if any riders need to be moved to a new grade. This may include riders who have not won a race, but who have consistently placed well.

All grade changes will be published in our newsletter and socials.

---

On the Day

Only visit the rego desk if you need to collect or return a number pack.

1. There is no physical ‘check-in’ or ‘sign on’ as with previous years.
2. No on the day grade changes
3. Using your phone, check the ‘live check-in' list on my.raceresult.com to see that your tag is working and that you have been automatically ‘checked-in’.
4. A rider briefing, count and roll call will be conducted before each grade roll away. Please be ready when your grade is called.
5. At the end of each grade riders must return their number pack (if required) and then clear the start/finish line area and maintain social distancing requirements.
