About
HCC's summertime crits run during the daylight savings period (from 4th Oct to 4th Apr 2024); limited daylight hours at the beginning and end of the period means that the season gets fully underway (i.e., including the Women's Series) on 18th Oct 2023 and runs through to 20th Mar 2023.
Race durations and some briefing times change inline with available daylight. See the table below.
We have intermediate sprints for A, B & C grades when possible.
Note: Events may be cancelled if conditions are hazardous due to wet roads or other unforeseen circumstances.
