All participants attending from out- of-country must possess a valid UCI license from their country of residence. Holders of UCI international licenses that do not bear a photograph will be required to present an approved and valid government photo ID in addition to their UCI license. There will be no “One-Day” Licence or “Alberta-Citizen” licenses issued for Canada Cup categories. Alberta 4-Stage Enduro Race and Alberta Cup XCO Race All riders competing in the Enduro Race and/or the Alberta Cup XCO Race must have either a valid UCI license, a valid “Alberta-Citizen” License (available to residents of Alberta only), or an Alberta “One-Day” license (available to Alberta and out-of-province racers). Please note that a rider may compete with an Alberta-issued One-Day License in no more than two events per calendar year, irrespective of cycling sport. Any citizen-licensed and day-licensed individuals will not be eligible for upgrade points or series points unless they buy a UCI/CCA license. “One-day” event licenses are available through on-line registration and are $10. Alberta XCO Relay Race (Teams of 2, 3 or 4 Riders) Relay race registrations are open to all participants holding a valid UCI licence, a valid Alberta Citizen License (available to residents of Alberta only), or an Alberta one-day license (available to Alberta and out-of-province racers). Teams of 2, 3, or 4 must complete a total of 6 laps of the modified XCO course. The first 4 laps of the course will be ridden individually by one member of the team; each member of the team must complete at least one individual lap. The last 2 laps will be ridden by two members of the team at the same time. The time counted for each of these last two laps will be based on the second person finishing. The riders in the last lap cannot commence until the second rider has completed the 5th lap. The exchange between riders will take place in an exchange zone. Team Composition: We have developed a points system that is used to build a team. Each category of rider is assigned a points value, and all 4 riders on the team must add up to a maximum of 275 points. In the case of 3 riders, the rider with the highest point value must count their points twice. In the case of 2 riders, each rider will have their point value counted twice. Each team must include at least one male and one female rider.
