    GENERAL INFORMATION

    Categories: As Follows

    3 x categories- As per AUS CYCLING guidelines all categories are mixed gender. U7 (5-6yrs) U9 (which is 7-8) U11 (9-10) U13 (11-12)

    Ages are decided on the calendar year of birth. So if, for example, a 7yo enters and they’re turning 8 in October, they will be entered into the 8-10 category. If a rider is particularly good then we can assess and perhaps bump him or her up an age level (bear in mind that rider limitations regarding their ages carry forward to the upgraded level that the rider has now entered. Also, please bear in mind that we don’t really want to do this as it usually gets parents questioning everything that we do after that.. Remember that a “rules is rules” approach to race management is always better). Even if we do end up bumping up riders, we will not be placing any riders in lower age categories. If a rider or parent feels that they’re not good enough for their respective category then they shouldn’t be racing yet.
