Anyone checking the invitation for Falu CKs prestige cross will notice the differences in race classes. And I applaud SCF for throwing out everything and starting with something completely new.

Open Class: Try out CX with any bike and seems to be a race time of only 20 minutes.
Prestige Class: Any age but when you are lapped you are pulled from the race. Race time around 60 minutes.
Super Class: Any age but no lapping rule. I assume this will be a race time around 40 minutes like veteran last year.

Is this good? It is a start. But first we need to change the name from Superklass to Superspeczialklass because it is sounds more cool and silly. =) The women lose in this but then again there were on average only 4 women per race last season. If they still count them separately, it will be fair for them. If not, I guess I get lapped by Kajsa Snihs.

And that is the potential problem...everyone may take Superspeczialklass at first just to see how it works. But overall this is a good suggestion because we all want to battle against those with equal skill, not equal age.


In other news, things are moving along nicely with the X-Ride. Many are asking me when the big premier race is, partly because joining the Ridley club is a sign of true dedication to CX, at least at MCK.
