Organiser's Description
A: Our most competitive category. Consider it a Pro/Cat1/2 Race. All legal race tactics welcome, this is about competing with each other respectfully and pushing each other as hard as we can.
B: Our less advanced competitive category. Consider it a Cat 3/4" Race. This also encompasses anyone who has a goal to compete beyond what the C race would allow. If people who are just trying racing want to race for less than 45 minutes, they can always drop out early.
C: Fun only, its not results-focused. It is also completely unlabeled in terms of gender. This will be about the side quest, or about the hand-ups, or about trying something for the first time without the pressure of also competing at it. Any level is welcome, but everyone has to remember that this is about letting other people have their good time without getting in their way. If you go fast, thats fine, but give all the slower people room to ride (or abruptly stop for whipped cream).
