GNCC Update

Posted: Tue 01 Sep 2015

Hi everyone

The DRD GNCC Season is almost upon us. We have exciting times ahead and look forward to welcoming you at the four rounds being:

And the bonus of the Tilson Cup XC Challenge at Hastings on 31 January (GNCC the day before) Format is 2 x 1½ hr races

Youth Class: We have tweaked the Youth Class to include riders up to 18 yrs old. Last year it was 16 but we believe 18 is a more realistic age. We will have age groups of up to 16yrs plus 17-18yrs within the Youth class but the overall will be for riders up to 18 yrs old.

READ Carefully:
We are also pleased to announce that the Maddix Park round will also host a round of Paul Whibleys the NZXC series. This means at that event you will gain points for the GNCC as well as the NZXC series. What a bonus!

At this event, Rookie Ladies will not attract points for NZXC Series but the Senior Ladies will. Any rookie Ladies wishing to gain NZXC points will need to race the Afternoon race. They can ride both races if they like for no extra cost than the Senior Race entry fee. This means they will get the Rookie Race for free!

For the Juniors, the NZXC points will be in the Morning Race. This will be for riders up to 15 yrs old. Any riders who wish to attract GNCC points in the Youth class up to 18 yrs old will need to ride both if they wish to attract GNCC points in the Youth Class (up to 18 yrs). Again only the Senior Fee will apply to eligible riders racing both classes.

    Summary:
  • GNCC points for Youth Class (14 – 18 yrs) is in the Afternoon 2 hr race
  • NZXC Points for Juniors is the Morning 1 ½ hr race (Riders can ride both races for the cost of the Senior Race – a bonus)
  • NZXC Points for Ladies is the Afternoon 2 hr race (Rookie Ladies can ride both the morning and afternoon race for the cost of the Senior Race)
