RULES: This event is permitted and sanctioned by the North American Bicycle Racing Association: All NABRA rules apply. Event will be held rain or shine. No refunds. Bicycle and wheel changes are allowed in the designated pit areas only. Helmets are required at all times while on the bike. Water feeds are allowed during the race.

Warming up on the Course Once the last rider has crossed the line in the current active wave, the race official will instruct when and where the riders are allowed to enter and “pre-ride” the course to become familiar with route and obstacles. Always enter the course past the finish line and do not cross the finish line while the timing system is running. Please respect the race in progress and do not pass active racers on course. Once the next race has started, warming up on the course is not allowed.

CATEGORIES: Senior (over CX age 18) and Masters categories may be listed by ability as well as age. Ability categories are as follows: A (CX Cat 1-4) is the fastest group out there – also might be called expert, elite. Highly competitive – if you aren’t an experienced racer (in cyclocross or another discipline) this is likely not the group for you. B (CX Cat 3-5) is the intermediate group – faster and more experienced than “C” riders but not at “A” pace yet. C (CX Cat 4-5) is geared toward the beginner rider – new racers should usually start here and move to “B” when comfortable.

Masters is for riders with a racing age (on Dec 31, 2015) equal to or greater than the indicated age. Masters A (CX-1-4) is often the second fastest group on the course, just behind the A race. Basically “A” racers that are older and have family/career commitments. Masters B (CX3-5) is generally a bit slower than B, as the average age is higher in the Masters group For new racers eligible to race masters, you might want to try both “C” and Masters B to see which you prefer.

CYCLOCROSS RACING AGE: A rider’s cyclocross racing age is based on the year the CX World Championships which take place February, 2015. Therefore your racing age for the cyclocross season September 2014 through January 2015 is your age on 12/31/2015.

SoCalCross discourages sandbagging. Please upgrade to the higher category when qualified. NOTE: USA Cycling does not recognize ABR or NABRA sanctioned events for CX category upgrades or USAC national ranking points. More info at: www.USAcycling.org

RESULTS: Race results will be posted near the awards area immediately following each race. Please make sure to check your results within the 15-minute posting/protest period or they will be final. Online results at: www.SoCalCross.org/results
