HCC's summertime crits run during the daylight savings period (from 9th Oct to 2nd Apr 2025); limited daylight hours at the beginning and end of the period means that the season gets fully underway (i.e., Juniors, Open and Women's grades) on 23th Oct 2024 and runs through to 19th Mar 2025. Limited daylight hours again limit the grades we can run in the last two weeks (26thMar and 2ndApr). See the table below.
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.
