This year everyone's race age (Road, Track, MTB, and Cyclocross) is the age
they turn on December 31, 2011. We have done away with the +1 Cyclocross age
deelybob. It was too confusing for everyone (even though it aligned with
USA/UCI Cycling events).
I repeat: For OBRA we are going back to the old age rules. If you plan on
going to any National/UCI events the +1 rule will be enforced.
Roll back your CX age one year everyone! Oh yea. All you 49 year olds who
were licking your chops at the 50+ open category you have to wait another
year!

Hey John, As for the age. Can you explain. Is there race age as of Dec 31
2011 or 2012?

Thanks to Cheryl Willson we are adding a resource page on the Junior
Cyclocross Web Page. We have the "Handbook" posted there that has all the
rules for this year plus other useful information. For example there is good
information about starting a High School team. Plus we plan to add in a good
description of Coaching drills to help your junior team excel in Cyclocross.
Some notable new rule changes:
1. No minimum number of races to qualify for series awards. Whoo Hooo!
2. All of the seven races count for the series overall for the Junior
Cyclocross Series. Not throwing any out.
3. The High School Series is still the best 4 out of 5.
4. No individual competition for the High School Series. Just the team
award.
5. Rider ages adjusted per OBRA rule change to move back to Road
Racing age vs CX Racing age.
The 2011 schedule is also posted on the web page.
I think that is it. Let me know if you have any questions.
