NCC PRESENTS ADL.NRG BY MAAP AND SPECIALIZED

WEDNESDAY 21 JANUARY

MAAP and Specialized come together for ADL.NRG, presented by Norwood Cycling Club.

ADL.NRG is a midweek hit of racing, pace and presence. Sharp courses, short efforts, real energy. It’s about pushing the pace together and giving riders of all levels a reason to pin a number on and get after it. Simple format. High output. Good people lining the course.

Hosted by Norwood Cycling Club, with MAAP and Specialized backing the night.

There’s $2,000 in prize money up for grabs across the grades, plus extras from MAAP, Specialized, PILLAR Nutrition, Skratch Labs and Niccolo Coffee for riders who roll through and stick around post-race.

Show up. Race hard. Hang back with the crew for food, drinks and good times.

We will have both food trucks and a bar in attendance!

Grading

TDU racing is always spicey, and Adelaide crits are fast to start with - this is no sleepy cycling backwater. Every year we have rides overestimate their ability and have a sad time because of it. Request a grade with logic and leave the ego at the sign on desk, it'll be much more fun.

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.

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 and removal from the event.


New Riders

As this is a marquee event, full race licence is required to participate, and not aimed at first time racers.

Grade Caps

NCC enforces strict grade caps at our crits in the interest of rider safety. Our TDU Criteriums have traditionally sold out incredibly early, so we 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.
