fair enough too Gai.
My post was aimed more at the B graders who enter Div 2.
For the rest, who question grades;
Div 1 is for A & B graders plus the faster of the C graders who want to test themselves against those in the grades above.
Div 2 is for the rest.
The club has limited time available for the Steel River crits, so it cant run 4, 5 or 6 grades. It is also aimed to give Newcastle's cyclists something a little different.
If a cyclist turns up to race a crit in Europe, they enter the one race - all in! I think we can be a bit soft in allowing too many grades, IMHO
