Gradings

UQCC is pretty flexible with grading riders. Please be honest and open if you are requesting a grade with us, or to change grades. If you're new to racing crits, you may wish to start in a lower grade - even if you are fit enough for a higher one. This gives you a chance to learn the crit routine and safely handle yourself in a bunch. You can always go up in grades later.

To request a grading change, use the reason field in the crit entry form. Grading changes will usually be granted.

Sign On

Please make sure your license is up to date!

Riders must sign on for the start list as you arrive at the staging area, with a roll taken to confirm any riders not yet ticked off.

Volunteers are needed to carry out the sign-on. Please consider giving some help here. All volunteers will receive free entry to their next crit.

IMPORTANT: From 2025, UQCC will issue you with a race number at the registration sign-on. The UQCC Committee made a decision that from 2025 riders will no longer 'keep' their own number. You will need to ensure to return the race number at the end of the Criterium to ensure the club can maintain the race numbers for future use. Safety Pins are supplied by the Club.

We will endeavour to start races on time, so be warmed up and ready to go when you do arrive at the track.

Race numbers should be pinned to your right hand side, not on your back! This makes it possible for commissaires to identify you from trackside.

Rollout - All Juniors U19s and lower, no matter what grade they are racing in, must get their gearing rollout checked on the concrete path near the viewing area pergola and registration sign-on area BEFORE picking up their race number

Rider Safety

UQCC Club Criteriums provide a chance for riders new to the sport to learn the crit routine and safely race in a bunch. Riders are to follow the instructions of the race commissaires. Criterium races in a clockwise direction, bunches should pass a lower grade bunch on the lefthand side. Within the bunch, riders should ideally maintain a consistent race line and avoid rapid swerves or erratic riding tactics during the race.

Wet-weather Policy - A decision to cancel due to poor weather will only made out at the course by the Chief Commissaire with announcements made via website and facebook (unless it's absolutely certain weather would make it impossible to race)

After the Finish

Those wishing to claim a place should present to the commissaires for confirmation. Please remember to return your race number to the sign-on registration desk.
