We are including two new categories in the Tour for next year with the addition of the 8-Rider Amateur Team category as well as the Grumpy Old Men category.

Licensed ladies aren't permitted to ride in the 3-Day Jock, but provision is made for them in the 1-Day event. Most licensed riders this year opted to ride in the 3-Day Jock Tour, so licensed groups, with the exception of the ladies, will again be combined into one licensed bunch.
