Collegiate cyclists,

With 2009 upon us and the spring collegiate road season approaching, many riders are aggressively renewing their Collegiate and USA Cycling licenses in preparation for the upcoming races.

 

A few reminders that will help everyone in this process.

1)      I ask you forward this message to all team members that may not be on the list serv to spread the word.

2)      Renew early and preferably online.   It will save time from filling out the annual application at the first race you do this season.  Also you will get a hard copy of your license quicker since the paper method depends on how quickly the race promoter submits the paperwork.

3)      Check ALL your racing Categories, and request upgrades BEFORE or Immediately following renewing.   If they are incorrect when you renew, then they will be incorrect when it is mailed.  If you request the upgrade immediately following your renewal, your license will temporarily pend to allow the upgrade request to be reviewed and resolved, so the license you receive in the mail is correct.  If you don’t do this, then you will have to request a reissued license which costs additional $$, which you don’t want.

4)      If you have questions about the Collegiate Categories, then please review the documents that explain it here.   

5)      Please look past Road racing as well to consider your MTB, CX, and Track categories.  Some of these disciplines correlate with another discipline.  For example, if you race either Collegiate XC A or Road A, then you have the option to be licensed as a Collegiate CX A as well per the rules. 

6)      New USA Cycling MTB categories are following a numerical system in 2009.  If you have questions of how they work or how they relate to Collegiate, review the FAQs here.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me or your Conference Director, directly.  Looking forward to a great year of Collegiate Cycling!
