Once again the Crits will feature separate categories (and an earlier start time) for junior riders (4-14 years of age), and we encourage any young riders with a suitable bike, a helmet and a sense of adventure to participate. The DirtCubs (ages 4-7) circuit is a 900 m loop, while DirtMasters (ages 8-14) will race over a more varied 2.3 km circuit; both tracks can be safely navigated by riders of all abilities.

Racing will kick off at 5:45pm and finish by 6:15pm. There is no cost for the event, however gold coin donations will be gratefully received.

This season we will be racing at the Walmer Forest (Baco) trails and utilising the facilities (toilets, picnic tables, barbecues) at the Walmer Forest Trailhead.
