Grading advice

SENIORS: Separate grades are available for men and women, but may be raced at the same time. Non-binary riders, please pick the grade that you feel is most appropriate. Place yourself in the grade you would normally race CX, MTB or criterium races. Please leave notes as to your current race grades in the handicapping remarks if you are new to CX. Your category may be adjusted, so please check EntryBoss after entries have closed. Completely new to racing? We recommend you start in C Grade or Open unless you know someone you are comparable with and wish to race with them. Grades may be mixed on the course, but will be wave started and timed separately. Still need help? email us.

JUNIORS: U17 grades are available for men and women. Junior A and B is subject to age-groups and ability. Note Little Xers is for the youngest children or kids new to cycling not capable of completing the full course on their own and can include balance bikes, bikes with training wheels, tricycles and those new to a pedal bike and a carer is welcome to accompany them around the shortened course on foot. Other grades will be marshaled with club volunteers and carers are not to accompany riders on course.

---

Sign On

Sign-on will be contactless. Please visit the rego desk and have your name checked off before going on course for the the main practice session. Ensure you have your race number and timing tag on before entering the course.

Riders must have signed on at the rego desk more than 30 minutes before race start so we know you're at the venue. Riders must be ready to start and congregating at the muster point after the finish line 15 minutes before the allocated race start time for the Commissaire’s instructions. Riders will be seeded based on current Series Points, followed by Time of Entry. Riders will be called up one by one to the starting grid at ~5 minutes before the scheduled start. If you miss your call-up, you will start from the back of the field.

Race Day Reminders:

• No license, No Race - Riders need a current license. Licenses may be checked at registration, so please bring your license or proof of renewal on the day.
• No race number, or timing tag, no race.
• Pits - there will be dedicated pit areas on each course for mechanical assistance. You must enter the pits from the course, and in the direction of the course (which may mean you need to run with your bike to the pit area). Cutting the course or receiving assistance outside the pit areas will result in a DQ.
• Announcements – Keep your eye on your emails for any important announcements ahead of race day.
• Respect the venue - we're racing in a natural area, warm up in areas to minimise damage to the vegetation.
• Covid-19 - consider your actions and how they impact upon others. Stay home if you're sick. Give yourself a chance to recover.
