Cyclocross, MTB, road and gravel rankings
The average rating of the ranked masters in each field — not every starter, only the riders already carrying a rating. The count says how many. Fields are listed by age group, not by strength.

Ratings are percent per lap against an average Men Cat 4; higher is stronger. A field with a single rated master gets no average — one rider is not a field. Results through November 8, 2026. Nothing here is an official result; corrections are welcome and get made.
Kelli Montgomery won the Master Women 55+ at the Cycle-Smart Northampton Cyclocross on both days, and Lora Melkonian and Pam Reid each won twice at the Cross Crusade at Edgefield. Chris Drummond and Adam Myerson each won the Master Men 40+ at Northampton by one second. October 31 and November 1.
