ABOUT:

Welcome to our final event for the year at our Cavanbah Criterium track - afternoon racing followed by a social get together including food and drinks and a buy/swap/sell event. The racing is a standard scratch format with male and female podium places up for grabs within each race. For this event we will again be holding an ungraded event for women, as well as a Juniors' and Vets' race. Please note these 3 races and D grade will begin consecutively from 4.00pm before the the other graded races begin at 4.30pm. There will be primes within the graded races and prizes on offer. Amenities and ample parking available at the Cavanbah Centre.

Race format information: The Scratch race runs for a set time before a whistle is blown indicating three laps to go. For example in C grade, riders race for 35 minutes plus 3 laps. There will be a Prime (pronounced "preem") during A, B and C grade races. A Prime is an intermediate sprint lap within the race.

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 licence 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 licence. 4-week free trial memberships available for new racers https://www.auscycling.org.au/membership/other/free-trial.
  
• No licence, 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.
