Ladies,
I am happy to announce some additions and changes in women's race classes for 2009. Beginner, Sport and Expert will be replaced with Cat 3, Cat 2 & Cat 1. Pro women will be combined with Cat 1 open, but have options to race up with the men.
Classes will be as follows:
The old beginner class:
Cat 3 12-18
Cat 3 19-39
Cat 3 40+
The old sport class:
Cat 2 12-18 (new)
Cat 2 19-39
Cat 2 40+
The old expert and pro class:
Pro/Cat 1 open (new)
Cat 1 40+
There will be the same amount of prizing available to women as always, but will allow for more flexibility and challenge at the higher level. Women will be permitted to race in their age class with the men also. Women who race single speed can either race in their age class or race with the men. Pro women will be permitted to race with the Pro/1 open men or Cat 1 men in their age class. Master women can race with pro/open women for higher pay out.
