Categories below are self-seeding, meaning that you choose the best race for you based on your experience, speed, endurance, and equipment.

If you are sand-bagging (racing in too low of category), people will heckle you and you won't do it again.

If you race in too high of category, people will feel your pain. However, you can downgrade at the next race if necessary.

Singlespeed riders can choose from whichever category they prefer. However, only the Singlespeed B race is scored separately and calculated in the overall series.

Young riders with any racing experience at all are encouraged to enter the early race (Juniors B) to ride the full course. The Youth race is a shortened course designed for a very beginner-friendly ride. We have had 4 year olds on training wheels at our races. Parents can escort their children to help them over any obstacles. Total laps ridden may be adjusted by age.
