Good Afternoon,

Thanks for having me at the recent conference meeting - I thought it was a great meeting and it was good to see all of you.

Answers to the questions regarding rules:
Radios: Radios can be used in A category Races PROVIDED there are cat. 1&2 licensed riders in those races. The USCF rule states: "1K3. Non-handheld radios with only one earpiece may be worn or carried by the rider or bicycle only in road events that INCLUDE CATEGORY 1 OR 2 RIDERS, except in age graded races.", and the USAC technical director agrees with this interpretation.

Experts in the B's - This will be discussed at the upcoming Road Nationals rules meeting. There will be a decision before the Fall MTB season. Thanks to Natalie Mik from Cal-Davis for assisting with the rules question. I look forward to seeing you all soon, and good luck in New Mexico!!
