Race two of our short pre-xmas series. Three races with points for each race (podiums, participation, and primes) and prize money for the overall men's and women's points leaders drawn from any grade after the three races ($300, $200 and $100 dollars for first, second and third respectively) and a best junior rider prize too. The format is similar to past events, eg 35 minutes plus 3 laps for B grade.

GRADES & HANDICAPPING

Please make sure you also contact club handicapper Glen Hannan (handicapper@byronbaycycleclub.org.au) prior to your first event so that you can be welcomed and graded accordingly.

MEMBERSHIP:

A reminder that racing is open to all AusCycling members who hold a valid racing membership. Please check that your membership is still active before your race. If you’re new to racing and have not held a racing licence before, you are eligible for a 4-week free trial. We strongly encourage new racers to take up this option and come along to try racing at our Cavanbah Centre events.

RULES:

• Riders from all clubs with a valid AusCycling racing licence. 4-week free trial memberships available for new racers https://www.auscycling.org.au/membership/other/free-trial.
  
• No licence, no racing.
  
• Hands must remain on handlebars for the entire race, no victory salutes
  
• Once your race is finished, you may continue rolling on the left of the track for half a lap and exit the track at the entrance to the carpark. Please be aware that other grades may still be racing and will be overtaking quickly
  
• Overtaking of grades must be done to the right. It is the responsibility of overtaking groups to warn upcoming groups (e.g. yelling “B grade overtaking”) at which point the upcoming group must all move to the left and ride single file in tight formation until the overtaking group has passed and there is a 12m gap to the nearest rider.
  
• Grading is at the discretion of the club handicapper, and promotions/demotions between each race will be made in accordance with relevant recent results. If you record a 1st place or 3 podium places throughout a series, you will automatically be promoted for the next race.
