Notes
• Collegiate/NCCA riders may enter their appropriate category, but must note which school they represent as their team name, race in their NCCA jersey, and show an active NCCA license at registration.
• Elite Men, Women & Under-23 must have UCI license.
• Masters can only ride in one Masters race. For example, a Cat 3 rider cannot register for both the 10:00am 3/4 Masters race and the 11:00am 1/2/3 Masters race.
• Note the field limit for any race is 125. For example, for the 10:00am race the sum of 3/4 Masters 35+/45+ plus Masters 55+ will not be allowed to exceed 125.
• If you're a 1/2/3 Master or a 2/3 Men racer, these will fill up so register early!
