Omnium jerseys - take a look!

Thanks to the generosity of the people at USAC, this mountain bike season we will have Omnium leader jerseys for the category A men and A women.  The omnium leader for the A men and the A women will be able to wear the omnium leader jersey at the next race (which of course means if you are the omnium leader one week and not the next, you are expected to show up the next week with a clean jersey to pass it on to the new leader.  The omnium winners for the season will get to keep the jersey.

To get a peek at the jerseys, please take a look at this design.  This was the final design - they are kind of a turquoise color (each conference has a different color background).  The jerseys arrived here the other day and they look great! 

Before you ask... yes, there will be one overall jersey for the A men and one for the women.  It doesn't matter if you are a member of a D1 or D2 school for the purposes of earning the jersey.

Yes, there will be some for road season also.

And no, unfortunately there will not be any for the Bs and Cs at this point, so trophies will still be awarded.  Maybe next year?  Or perhaps we can use part of the conference funding next year to purchase additional jerseys for the Bs and Cs, or produce our own for those categories.  We shall see. 

This is kind of a "trial run," so please let me know how you like this idea!

Thanks!

Links to flyers are up!

The links to the three race flyers are now available on the calendar page.  Please pay close attention to the registration deadlines so that you don't miss out!

With the absence of the Dust Devil race this season, the Squash Blossom Classic will be the SW mountain bike Championship (September 29th).  In 2013, we will start the new rotation for the championships (of course depending on what races are promoted by member clubs!)

I will be in attendance at Horny Toad and Squash Blossom; unfortunately I have another commitment on 9/9 that I could not move after the race date changed.  Sorry!

I am looking forward to this season - hopefully you all are also!  Please let me know if you have any questions/issues/concerns! 

MTB season date changes

Hello all -

The date for the Back to School Special has changed from September 8th to September 9th.  The High Desert Screamer has changed from September 22nd to September 29th. 

There is a 12-hour race in Flagstaff on September 8th that will include collegiate categories (in process now), but it will not count for points.  The link to the web site is: http://bearjawgroove.com/.

As soon as I receive links to the other flyers, I will be posting them.
