Ramping up the mtb season

Hello all & welcome back -

I think by now everyone should be back at school (or close to it) and ready for the start of the mtb season. I haven't received any flyers or links yet but I assume they are coming soon.

As a reminder, please check the calendar section for info on upcoming races. The first one will be September 10th in the Albuquerque area, followed by Las Cruces and then Gallup races. Thanks to UNM & NMSU for stepping up and hosting/co-hosting these races.

The promoter of the Dust Devil race (the last race on the calendar) has graciously decided to allow all 3 AZ schools to co-host the race, since there is only one AZ race this fall. Thank you David Benjes. The race day schedule for this race has changed slightly from in previous years.

I just got back from the Conference Director's Summit in Colorado Springs this past weekend, and came back with a bunch of ideas and other info.

I am trying to get all the info (photos and points) from the old site moved over here but it is slow going. Why did we make the change? USAC wanted the conferences to have a more consistent look, and they wanted to go to one type of hosting service (or that's how I understand it anyways). There's things that I like about it and things that I don't like, but at least now I am not paying for it out of my own pocket.

Let me know your thoughts, opinions, questions, etc.

Thanks!

New web page & change in schedule

August 3, 2011: Thanks to Evan Cooper of USAC for all his work in creating these new pages and moving all of the old content over from the old SWCCC page!

The October 1st race (Road Apple Rally) will no longer have a collegiate category, so I am taking it off the schedule.

Thanks to the teams who stepped up and expressed interest in helping to promote the Dust Devil race in October. Keep watching for an official announcement.
