Women’s Points: Male/Female riders will be riding in the same grades simultaneously, with female riders accruing points as it was a women’s only grade.

Grades & Estimated Speeds

To assist with selecting the correct grade below are the estimated speeds of each grade which we’re based off the Super City Team Championship results from Race 2 and Race 5 of the series

A Grade – 40 km/h and above.
B Grade – 37 km/h to 40 km/h
C Grade – 33 km/h to 36 km/h
D Grade – 29 km/h to 32 km/h
E Grade – 25 km/h to 28 km/h

Social grade – below 25 km/h

Under-19 riders must be aged over 13 years of age & 19 or less by 31 Dec 2026.

  • Riders who are turning 15 or over this year can ride in the Under-19 Grade or in Grades A to E.
  • 13- and 14-year-olds should ride in the U-19 grade.

*If you haven’t raced before or are unsure which grade to enter a good starting point is to add 3-4 km/h to your normal fast ride speed due to the bunch dynamics of a race.
