NOTICE - WOMEN RACING IN OPEN ABILITY CATEGORIES

June 11th, 2009

The Racing Committee of the Alberta Bicycle Association has recently adopted a new policy for Women Racing in Open Ability Categories (Cat 1 -5).

The following is the new policy:

An A Level Woman applying to race in Men's categories must fulfill one the following criteria:

*Member of the Canadian Senior Road or Track national team.
*Winner of ARC in previous season.
*Accumulated at least 100 points (top 4 in last years’ ARC) over two seasons (previous or current season).

Upon a successful application to race in Open Ability categories, all women will be placed into Category 4 for ARC points, prizing, and future upgrading.

All category changes (Women A-> Cat 4) will only be done once per season.
