Grading Guide

C grade = New to bike racing generally / moderate pace or older riders

B grade = Any tyre width allowed, Pushing hard and pretty fast, but a broad range of speeds, MTBer`s will be started in a separate wave behind the CX riders!

A grade = Seasoned, competitive racers and Elites.

Your CX grade should be the same as your road racing or MTB grade. An A-grade rider trying CX for the first time is still probably best suited to A grade, etc.
