ABOUT:

Welcome to our Criterium Carnival at the Cavanbah Centre, jointly hosted by the Byron Bay and Northern Rivers Cycle clubs. We'll kick things off with our usual Juniors event at 7.30am, then beginning at 8.00am we'll be running a 1 lap individual time trial, then a 5 person Italian pursuit race (NB: one D grade person per team) and finally a shorter graded Crit event. One entry price for all three races. Timetable and start times below. Amenities and ample parking available at the Cavanbah Centre.

Italian Pursuit Explainer:

• Sort your riding order before you start. • It’s a timed 5-lap team event; fastest team wins. • All 5 riders start together. • Rider 1 leads for 1.5 laps, then pulls off at the car park — their race is done. • Rider 2 takes over, leads for 1 full lap, pulls off at the car park. • Same pattern for riders 3 and 4. • Rider 5 finishes the final half lap solo to the original start/finish line — time stops when they cross.

GRADES & HANDICAPPING

Please make sure you also contact club handicapper Glen Hannan (handicapper@byronbaycycleclub.org.au) prior to your first event so that you can be welcomed and graded accordingly.

MEMBERSHIP:

A reminder that racing is open to all AusCycling members who hold a valid racing membership. Please check that your membership is still active before your race. If you’re new to racing and have not held a racing license before, you are eligible for a 4-week free trial. We strongly encourage new racers to take up this option and come along to try racing at our Cavanbah Centre events.

---

RULES:

• Riders from all clubs with a valid AusCycling racing license. 4-week free trial memberships available for new racers https://www.auscycling.org.au/membership/other/free-trial.
  
• No license, no racing.
  
• Hands must remain on handlebars for the entire race, no victory salutes
  
• Once your race is finished, you may continue rolling on the left of the track for half a lap and exit the track at the entrance to the carpark. Please be aware that other grades may still be racing and will be overtaking quickly
  
• Overtaking of grades must be done to the right. It is the responsibility of overtaking groups to warn upcoming groups (e.g. yelling “B grade overtaking”) at which point the upcoming group must all move to the left and ride single file in tight formation until the overtaking group has passed and there is a 12m gap to the nearest rider.
  
• Grading is at the discretion of the club handicapper, and promotions/demotions between each race will be made in accordance with relevant recent results. If you record a 1st place or 3 podium places throughout a series, you will automatically be promoted for the next race.
