Louisville Short Track is back and it's radder than ever! Presented by the nonprofit Louisville Cyclocross Collective and Rocket Power Brand Co . Here is everything you need to know for the Louisville Short Track. RULE #1: KEEP IT LOW-KEY, HIGH-FUN When in doubt, refer back to rule #1. Don't make us tap the sign. CHOOSING YOUR RACE CATEGORY You get to choose your category ! (keeping in mind Rule #1) Don't know which to race? Ask at registration and they'll size you up. You can race more than once a night , but you can't be in two races at the same time (e.g. Newbs and Singlespeed. Choose one!) Pursuant to Rule #1, race directors reserve the right to: Consolidate or create categories according to registration numbers. Promote you up a category if you crush everyone Race Category Guidance KIDS: U11 means "Under 11", so 10 and under. Free! Registration (and helmets) required! JUNIORS: U15 means under 15, so 14 and under. U19 means 18 and under. NEWBIES + SINGLESPEED: This is for the beginners ! Or the single speed weirdos! The NEWBIE and SINGLESPEED wave starts ALL GENDERS together, but... ... there WILL be separate podiums for NEWBIE Men and NEWBIE Women , because we love you. SINGLESPEED podium will be all genders (unless by some miracle we have more than 5 singlespeeder of both genders). NEWBIE riders ONLY may ride non-MTB non-flat-bar bicycles. You'll probably want an MTB. MIDS: This is for intermediates. In racer speak, these are fast Cat 4 or Cat 3 cyclocross / road riders.
