NCNCA Cup Categories

Note to all racers: There will be points tracking for ten categories in the series, however EVERY category at the event is open for racing at all the CUP races. Even though we aren't tracking points for every cat, everyone is invited to come out and race and there will be a great turnout in every event at the CUP races. Whatever category you are in, there is a race for you at every event -- just check the weekly race announcements and pick the category that fits you best. Bring your best game and come have some fun.

The following categories will be tracked for points at every NCNCA Cup race.
A Men
A Women
B Men
B Women
Master 35 A Men
Master 35 A Women
Master 45 A Men
Junior Men
Junior Women
Singlespeed

Points leaders will be recognized weekly on NCNCA.org and with awards at the end of the series.

Note: Where there is an A and B group (for masters, juniors, etc) only the A group is scored for the series. B Men and B Women are the only B groups scored. For races with junior age groups (10-14, 14-18 etc) the oldest group is scored for the series.

Additionally at the series finals there will be a prize raffle for ALL participants - just come out on the day of the finals and join in.

Any questions send email or post in the comments below.

Why no 35+B Men?

I suppose it's my fault for not looking closer, but I didn't realize the series was excluding a common category. Also Cross details are kind of spread all over the place. I was going to make the NCNCA series a season focus, but I wouldn't have done Fairfax had I known the 35+ Bs were not included. I would have opted for the CCCX series instead of spreading my racing out to go for the NCNCA series. This kind of bites...well, a bit more than kind of.
I pretty much have to rethink my whole season...and my wifes now that it's blown for her too.

I agree with Nome Agusta... I should have looked closer as well, but I would contend that the 35+ B riders are faster and have bigger fields than the B riders. (no offense, guys) If I change now, I have to throw out Fairfax, and I have to race all of the Super Prestige and Sacramento series races as a "B" instead of a Master. This may mean that I skip the Santa Cruz and CCCX races now. Time to take a fresh look at my season plan.

sorry you guys didn't see there was no 35+B.

if we can keep all the promoters psyched about doing it next year, maybe the 35B's can be added.

i'll certainly lobby for it. but, let's see if this thing can survive year 1!

The C Wmn need to be added as a tracked category next year! They have had a great number of ladies showing up at each race this year. Beginner women should be encouraged and tracked!
