I don't know, but don't see why you would, if you are normally a 'B' or 'A' rider. As far as I remember, most people are graded on their first race, but had the option to self nominate if entering later events. Don't quote me on that.

No.
And if by some witchcraft you miss the first race and end up racing the remaining ones in a grade well below your abilities, we have rules to cover that - as do the MTBA tech regs.

No worries of that, the faster I ride the more often I crash.
Course Update Saturday 3 May 2014
We were out marking the loop this morning.
Besides a few small puddles. The 10km loop is looking really good.
I've attached a photo to show how clean both me and the bike ended up after riding the loop.
We're now riding about 75% singletrack and can all look forward to some fast racing tomorrow.
See you there.

Just got back from set up. A couple of mm just dumped and it's still drizzling, but looking like clearing up.
There WILL be some puddles, but I can't see a mud fest :behindsofa:

My wife and kids have bailed. I'll still come for a roll in the mud.

Famous last words
thanks bscc for a forceful event
Using the power of the dark side Moorey managed to hold off any rain. In fact mostly sunny for the the whole event.
Trail was in fantastic shape and has benefited from the continuing hardwork of all the BSCC committee. Couple of puddles and slimy roots on the first lap but all dry by lap three. Lots of new singletrack made the laps about 35 minutes added some flow. Bring on Castlemaine.
No mud fest Rishi!!

A good day
Stayed in Ballarat last night, driving up it was pouring rain, I was so concerned I nearly went home.
But Race day was clear and sunny just a bit cold, by lap 3 the track was great, pity the legs weren't.
Now all I need is results, does anyone know where they get posted.

They were posted up at rego 10 min after last rider came in, shouldn't be long before Paul gets them up online.
As others have said, track condition was fantastic. Couple of small puddles, which quickly settled in. Tracks were hard, tacky and grippy for the most part.
Big ups to all that helped out with track building, planning, running and setup/pack up. Too many to mention. Awesome venue, thanks Forest Resort.
As always, race director Paul Mathers roped his entire extended family in to register and Marshall. Nice one guys/girls.
Awesome work from the costume monkeys, it made the day. Everyone I spoke to loved the kids in Star Wars theme.
I wish I could take credit for more than a helping hand on the day, and wrangling the kids race. Fantastic day out, even if, once again, those tracks pummelled me.
Kids race results:
1st: some kid called Felix Moore
2nd: Nick Butler
3rd: Justin Butler
4th: Campbell Palmer
5th: Max Matthews.
Honourable mentions to:
Miranda and Sam Veal
Freya Palmer
Quinn Moore.

The tracks at Creswick are great. My legs were not. Amazed at how much climbing could be fitted into such a small space.
By far the most luxurious toilet facilities I have ever experience at a sporting event
The only downside was the offleash dog that left a landmine in the grass, that is now spread over my hiking boots and the carpet of my car. Grrrrrrrr.
