FYI







It isn't just for nationals. They should all be racing their 2005 ages for

all cyclocross races now.



I hope the Portland UCI cross person is not telling people that.

Thanks for the info. You might make this explicit. A lot of kids where I

live (Seattle area) are racing thinking they they will ride in their 2004

age groups at Nationals. On their web site the promoters of the Portland

UCI Race on Saturday (10/9) are telling even the 17-18 year-old riders to

race their 2004 ages. Please let people know so the kids know what to

expect. Thanks again. Michael

The easiest way to look at it is this, all of your sons ride in the age

group that would show on their 2005 licenses. They are essentially one year

older in racing age for cyclocross.

Hi Shawn...My son is a junior racer. I'm not understanding the rule for

junior cylocross age groups. Last year if your racing age was 16 you raced

in the 17-18 category at Nationals (or your 2004 UCI age for purposes of

qualifying for Worlds). All of the other age groups raced in the 2003 road

racing age groups. So effectively, there was age groups at Nationals of

10-12, 13-14, 15, and 16+.



It seems to have changed this year. Specifically my question is, if my

son's 2004 racing age is 16, what age group does he race at the 2004

Nationals. What if he is 14 or 12? Thanks. Michael Buckley
