Juniors/Masters!
The racing age classification has changed for Cyclocross in 2006. Your racing age shall be the same as the National Championship racing age required at Nationals. For example, if you are 14 years of age on December 31st, 2006, your racing age for the 2006 Cyclocross season will be 15. Mountain bikes (without forward pointing bar ends) are ok. Do not warm up on the course during any racing - a negative 20 point penalty. All 35plus masters that finished in the top 5 in a Cat 1-2 road event or pro/semi-pro mtn bike event in 2006 will race in the open Cat 1-2.

NOTICE: SANDBAGGING IS HIGHLY DISCOURAGED AND FROWNED UPON. MANDATORY UPGRADES WILL TAKE PLACE AT PROMOTERS DISCRETION. 3 WINS AND THINK ABOUT MOVING UP.
