Rules: USCF cyclocross rules
apply. CYCLOCROSS AND MOUNTAIN BIKES (No Bar ends) ARE WELCOME. Bike
and wheel changes are allowed in the designated pit areas. Riders must
wear helmets at all times when on the bike. Riders shall stay on the
course or existing trails. Finally, please respect the venue and the
locals. We want to put on more races and neighborhood satisfaction is
very important.
Categories: For a rider
getting his first license, he starts at cat 4 and then upgrades by
earning points just like on the road. The schedule above represents CX
categories. For returning riders, their CX category is determined by
using the algorithm below:
Road Cat 1 or Pro = CX cat 1
Road cat 2 = CX cat 2
Road cat 3 = CX cat 3
Road cat 4 or 5 = CX cat 4
If the rider has a NORBA license, then the algorithm is:
Pro = CX cat 1
Semi-pro = CX cat 2
Expert = CX cat 3
Beginner or sport = CX cat 4 If the rider is both, then they get the
higher of the categories if they are different. Now, that being said,
clearly this algorithm is just a starting point. In this first year,
the local associations and regional coordinators will be in a position
to modify a rider’s CX category if their knowledge of the rider and his
results would show this doesn’t work. i.e. it is very possible to be a
cat 3 road rider but be an exceptional CX rider who usually wins the A
races.
The map below indicates the likely layout of the course. Promoter
retains the right to modify final course. Expect the course to be
between a 1.0 – 1.5 mile loop.
