Women's Grades

• Select races throughout the season will offer separate women's-only grades.
• For most races, Women will start with an Open/Men's grade (combined start) but be recognised with separate Women's results and podium. This allows for a bunch race experience without the disadvantage of having to race men.
• When combined starts are required, the Women's A bunch starts with C Grade, Women's B start with D grade.

• WC start separately wherever possible.

• Occasionally some women do wish to race in harder grades rather than with the Women's designated grade (for instance Men's B). This is entirely your own decision and something that is supported.

• See https://northerncombinecycling.org/racing/women for more details on the Women's Series Points. In every race, every female who starts gets a point. The best 3 female finishers get extra points.

Juniors

Juniors are offered two races.

• A Junior handicap (first event of the day)
• Those juniors old enough and with suitable experience can also race a senior grade.

Juniors Racing Senior Grades

• THIS RACE U15 & U17 Juniors with suitable are welcome to race senior grades as long as AusCycling Tech Reg distance and roll-out/age-appropriate gearing restrictions are adhered to.
• Junior pricing will apply - but no prize money will be awarded. (applies to U17 only. No restrictions on U19)
