2012 NZ MTB Cross Country Cup presented by Nature Valley, comprising:

Round 1, Sunday 15th January, Signal Hill, Dunedin (UCI Cat 1). Note – venue change: event village for XC now on Signal Hill behind Logan High School

Round 2, Sunday 22th January, Living Springs, Christchurch (UCI Cat 2).

Round 4, Sunday 26th February, Eskdale, Napier (UCI Cat 2).

Looking forward to Living Springs this weekend. It should be great to watch.

I've got a silly question. Uci cat1 or cat2 which is better?
What's different between these events that make some cat1 and others cat2?

cat 1 is bigger, more UCI points and more prize money. and more cost to hold one
