Chico Airport Criterium Series P/B Chico Cycling Team starts Tuesday May 2!
Chico Cycling Team is proud to announce year three of the official, fully permitted Airport Criterium Series! The series of ‘training races’ will start on Tuesday, May 2 and run every Tuesday through to (including) August 30. These events are FREE and open to anyone who wants to race, learn to race and/or just improve their fitness and have fun. Our permit from the City of Chico authorizes road closure to cars but you should be aware that cars will be allowed to enter and exit as necessary, so use good judgment and ride safely!!!
Where: the old ‘short course” – Start/finish on Convair; .6mile 4-corner course: Convair-Marauder-Fairchild-Fortress-Convair.
When: Every Tuesday from May 2 through August 29
Registration: Opens at 5:45PM
Races: Start at 6:15
Categories and Schedule: 1,2,3’s, A’s, B’s, Women, and Masters 50+ will start at 6:15pm for approximately 45 minutes. All categories will race together but will be picked separately. Kids and C’s will race after the first races are completed, at around 7pm, for approximately 20 minutes.
Race Numbers: You must wear a number to race, and you’ll be issued your number at your 1st race (free). You’ll be responsible to bring/use this number for EVERY race. If you lose your number then it will cost you $5 to replace it. Numbers are to be pinned on your left side. Pins will be provided.
Race Details*:
On May 2 and May 9, races will start following a clinic put on by the AMain Hobbies Team providing an introduction to Criterium Racing skills (about 10-20 minutes)
We will try and gradually increase racing times as the season progresses.*
1,2,3’s & A’s – 40 min to 60 min
B’s – 35 min to 50 min
C’s – 15 min to 20 min
*All times (length of race) are approximate and dependent on circumstances, at the Official’s judgment!
Points for the Criterium Series: At each race, points will be awarded for each category as follows:
1st - 20 pts , 2nd - 17, 3rd -15, 4th -13, 5th - 11, 6th - 9, 7th - 7, 8th - 5, 9th - 3, 10th - 2
All other finishers – 2 pts
Additionally, ‘Primes’ are worth 5 points each.
If you volunteer to work at the crit you will receive 5 points.
Remember, the key to ‘placing’ well in a series like this is CONSISTENCY! Show up often and you may be surprised at how well you’ll do!
Prizes: We’ll be awarding a prize for the winners of the A’s, B’s, Women’s and Master 50+ categories in the summer Criterium Series. We’ve teamed up with North Rim Adventure Sports, Greenline Cycles, Cyclesport and Campus Bikes to offer each winner a prize to be determined, but it will be something good! Stayed tuned.
