Conference Points are up!

On the points page. The results are on the Race Schedule page after each race. Please let me know if you have any questions/concerns.

Have fun in Gallup this weekend - sorry, I have to work so I won't be there!

HTH 2011

Thanks all for attending HTH yesterday. A mix of veterans and some new faces, with representation by NMSU, UNM, NAU and UA. Results will be up as soon as I get a copy. I am waiting on the points from the BTS race; apparently there were some questions on what was awarded at the race versus what was posted online. As soon as I get those ironed out (hopefully today) I will get the updated points up ASAP so you can peruse them before the Gallup race next weekend. Photos are up from yesterday.

BTS photos & Road Natls info

I have posted the photos in a slideshow from this past weekend on the photos page. Please bear with me as I try to figure out these new features. :-)

The Collegiate Road Natls will be held in Odgen, Utah in both 2012 and 2013, hosted by Weber State. The dates for 2012 are May 4-6. The press release can be found here: https://www.usacycling.org/news/user/story.php?id=6975

Back to School Special

It was great seeing NAU and UNM at the race on Saturday - there was a great turnout of collegiate riders. Thanks to Brent and the rest of the UNM riders for putting on a great event. Points will be up as soon as I receive a copy of the results. I have uploaded the photos and will post a link to them tomorrow once I can ID a few more riders They came out pretty dark due to the rain & forest darkness. Oh well! Thanks again!

UNM Back to School Race this weekend

Hope to see everyone at the UNM race this weekend! I have been fielding a lot of requests for info, upgrades, etc., so hopefully there will be a great turnout. Stay tuned for race results and photos after the race. Thanks!

Flyer info and other items

Hello all -

Just a few quick items.

I have posted the flyer links that I have received on the Calendar page. Please pay particular attention to the pre-registration deadlines, as there are some races that do not do race day registration.

Please please please send me your upgrade or category change requests as soon as you can. Since we only have A, Bs & Cs in this conference, if your license says D, please request an upgrade to Cs through your USAC account. This saves time and confusion for the promoters and their registration people.

We do not have any DH races in the conference this semester, mainly due to restrictions by land managers. So those gravity-minded individuals who wish to attend Natls are going to have to submit a race resume to me, with their category A-type (pro/expert) race results for the last 12 months ONLY.

Please carefully read over the MTB Natls requirements for the conference. Yes, I realize that it may require a significant amount of travel. Because of the way races fell this year, most of the mtb races are in NM. This is not always the case, as it varies from year to year, (a few years ago the races were mostly in AZ), so it balances out in the end over time. Those of you who have promoted a race know how difficult it can be to find suitable safe courses that property owners will allow racers to use year after year. Fire restrictions can also be a factor, for both MTB as well as road races.

You all may have seen the press release from USAC about the Road Natl Championships being held in Utah for the next two years, so finally SW and W area schools can save a bit on travel $, both for MTB and Road Natl Championships.

Please let me know if you have any questions or issues. If not, I'll see you next weekend!
