Juniors Riding Up Junior Riders will be able to ride up tonight but aren't eligible for prize money per AC guidelines. Juniors will need to follow the standard riding up procedures, and note that this is not a normal VP crit. Just because allowance has been made previously does not coffer that you will be allowed to ride up this week.

Info for All Riders

  • Grades WILL sell out. Enter early or be prepared for disappointment (waitlisting info below)
  • Make sure you EntryBoss profile details match your AusCycling membership details and your AC licence is renewed before entering!
  • One lucky rider will be the winner of a one off Specialized Allez Sprint. To be eligible you need to start your race, and be at presentations for the last event of the evening! The frame will be randomly drawn based off race number, and riders will have 60 seconds once their name is drawn to present, otherwise the frame will be redrawn.

Info for visiting Riders

  • Please give the handicapper accurate information about where you normally race in your home state. Sandbagging is not very becoming. This can be done in comments when you enter.
  • We will provide temporary numbers and transponders for riders to give back at the end each nights racing!
  • Bringing your phone to sign on
  • Please remember many of our volunteers aren't on holidays, so make sure you're polite as they probably came straight from work so you could race. Any problems, see the race director on the night!

Info for Regular Riders

  • Bring your number and transponder as per any Tuesday Crit!

More Information

Grading

Grading is at the discretion of the handicapper, and not at the whim of the rider. Riders who request grade changes through EB without having their preference ok'd by the handicapper will be placed into their existing grade. Handicapping takes in more than rider fitness, but considers skill, ability to contribute positively to the race and appropriateness. The best way to move up a grade is to win. If you can't win your current grade, you probably aren't ready to move up.

NCChandicap

Please check what grade you have been placed in by the handicapper via the "View startlist" button prior to the event starting. The handicapper reserves the right to handicap riders as they see fit. It is the responsibility of the rider to review the published start list. Please enter relevant information for the handicapper when you nominate. The earlier you nominate, the earlier you get handicapped. Changing of grades on the day is not permitted. Only the Handicapper or the Chief Commissaire may regrade a rider on the day.
Please do not request grade changes to our volunteers on the Sign-on desk

You can contact the NCC Handicapper Peter Varricchio on 0411 118 262. Please be courteous and understanding. Any inappropriate behaviour will result in sanctions.


New Riders

Are you new to racing? Then why not try the AusCycling Australia's 4 week free license, to try racing before committing to a full license, see link below. https://www.auscycling.org.au/membership/other/free-trial

Not quite sure which grade you are? Please feel free to have a chat with NCC Handicapper Peter Varricchio on 0411 118 262. If you have questions about racing please contact NCC on facebook messenger. If its your first race recommend arriving at sign on at least 30min prior to your race starting, to sign on, have your paper work with proof of license. Leave time to pin on numbers, put on timing transponder and warm up / have a nervous toilet break!

If you have never raced a criterium before and not confident in your bunch riding skills, we recommended you attend a Norwood CC + AusCycling SA criterium training session. See the AusCycling SA and Norwood C.C. facebook pages for more details.

Grade Caps

NCC enforces strict grade caps at our crits in the interest of rider safety. We have been selling out grades regularly over the past 12 months, so encourage everyone to enter early to ensure that you don't miss out. You can scratch with full refund up to nomination closing time.

If you receive one of the five waitlisted places - this means you are first in line if anyone scratches. We will move these riders up if we can, but it is unlikely that you will get to race.

If you get Waitlisted (Doubtful) it is very unlikely that you'll get to race.

Please don't:
-Ask to race with another grade;
-Turn up on the night hoping someone doesn't show;
-Ask to be given special consideration to race.

NCC is a volunteer run club and we hate having to say no to people! We want everyone to be able to race, but it just not possible sometimes.
