To all UCA clubs and teams: Remember that it's a requirement to send at least one team or club representative to the officials training. You must fill this requirement to maitain your voting status as a club in good standing.

Please plan to attend the 2012 annual USAC Officials Clinic. The day will consist of two parts, with all new officials taking the course starting in the morning and then the current officials attending the afternoon for updates from USAC and the UCA. Please pass this onto other email lists or individuals that may be interested. If you have any questions, please contact me directly. Also, please RSVP directly to cyorgason@comcast.net so we can have enough material for the class.

We want to thank the UVU Cycling Team for hosting this event and getting us the room to use for the day.

Here’s to a great 2012 Season!

High Uintas State Race

2011-06-16T20:21:00Z

The 23rd annual High Uintas State Race is this weekend, June 18-19 in Evanston. Please come out and support this great race!

As of Thursday morning, online registration entries are down as compared to last year. We hope that online registration will strengthen throughout the day and evening. Our benchmark for online and on-site registration is a minimum of about 350 competitors. This will help to ensure a successful race this year and allow us to plan for next year's race.

It appears there may have been a glitch with online fees for our Competitive and Recreational Citizen racers. The entry fee for Citizen racers is $65 which includes the one day license of $10. With the online service fee, the total cost to register online is about $71. If you paid more than this, we will credit your account or refund what you overpaid.

If you are hesitant about participating this year because Bald Mountain Pass is closed, please know that the road race course from Evanston to the snowline and back to Evanston or the Ranger Station will still be very challenging.

If you are hesitant about competing this weekend because of the possibility of cooler weather, please know that we will have "Rockin' Robin's Shuttle Fleet" positioned at various locations from North Slope Road to the snowline, ready to respond immediately if necessary. Your welfare is our number one priority.

The Evanston Cycling Club Board of Directors has WAIVED the additional $10 day of race fee on Saturday morning. There will NOT be a $10 day of race fee on Saturday morning.

This is a legendary snow year! This year's race will be legendary! Don't miss being part of the legend by registering online today, tomorrow evening or Saturday morning in Evanston.

Online registration closes on Friday, June 17th at 12:59 a.m. MDT. On-site registration in Evanston at the Wyoming State Hospital will be held on Friday evening, June 17th from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.; and on Saturday morning, June 18th from 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.

USU Cycling Classic

2011-04-18T20:06:00Z

The USU Cycling classic is coming up this weekend! This year, we're
hosting the Intermountain Collegiate Cycling Conference Championships,
but we wanted to make sure to invite as many non-collegiate riders as
possible to make things more competitive and fun. For those of you who
aren't doing East Canyon, it's a good chance to get in a 3-stage race
(crit, RR, and TTT) for only $50. The weekend weather looks good so
far (low 50s with a small chance of rain), so pack your arm warmers
and come to Logan for a great race.

For more info, visit our race site at http://usuclassic.blogspot.com/
or email me at ben.siler@gmail.com.

Thanks,
Ben

Please note this race is a NON UCA Points race
