The Harvest Moon promoter has done all that is necessary to resurrect the race. Since it was scheduled as a points race to start with, it will be a points race. It is the last UCA race of the season. It will be held on September 26, 2006 in downtown Ogden. You can find more information at http://www.teamexcelerator.com

The Harvest Moon crit is back with a new promoter and sponsor. They are in the process of finalizing the paperwork and will be considered for UCA points status when that is completed. We will let you know as soon as possible if it will be back in the UCA points series. —UCA Board

The UofU Criterium is currently a non UCA points race. However,
they are trying to meet all the necessary requirements to become a
UCA points race. They are very close and currently are waiting for
permission from the UofU. If you know anyone with some ability to
flex some muscle at the U give them a call. With the cancellation of
Harvest Moon we could use some help to get one more UCA event. Stay
tuned for more info.
For those of you that like the pain and suffering of climb after
climb the Ithinkicanyons
is an incredible ride. The IthinkIcanyons is a non-UCA event but it's for
a great cause so I felt it is worth putting my neck on the line to
mention it. Check out the web site for more info. Ithinkicanyons Thanks for the great
year of racing!

With the cancellation of the E-Center crit, don't forget you can race the same crit course as the Tour of Utah Pros, Sunday August 23rd. It is not a UCA points event, but will be exciting racing with all the barriers and finish line truss on a flat, fast, fun and safe 1 mile course around the Library Square and Washington Square. For more info, go to: http://www.skiutahcycling.com/ZTour_of_Utah_Downtown_Amateur_Criterium

I made a small typo on my post the other day and indicated the 1,000 Warriors would be closing for registration on THURSDAY, July 21st. Well, July 21st was actually Tuesday, which WAS the final day for registration for the 1,000 Warriors, not tomorrow. Sorry if there was any confusion.
It could be good news for some, however, if you missed out on
registration for the 1,000 Warriors. Take the opportunity to just do
the final 6 miles of it by signing up for the Snowbird Hillclimb
instead! Go to their site at: http://www.snowbird.com/events/competitions/summer/hillclimb.html
for info or visit Sportsbaseonline for registration. https://new.sportsbaseonline.com/events/index.xhtml?categoryId=7563

There has been some confusion concerning whether the Tour de Park City is a UCA points race. It has always been scheduled as a points race, but due to the lack of junior categories, we temporarily thought that it would not be. But, the promoter has added the junior fields.
Bottom line, the Tour de Park City is a UCA points race.
I apologize for the confusion. I know that it is a very long race. It was listed as a non-points race for about 10 days, but has since been corrected. The promoter has some great support and will even hand up mussette bags with food and drink at scheduled feed stations. There is no need for personal support. It will be a great day of well supported racing.

With the biggest Pro race in Utah fast approaching, there are several important elements of this great event we want everyone to be aware of.
First thing; the 1,000 Warriors race, which covers the same course as the Pros from Park City to Snowbird on Saturday, August 22nd, closes for online registration Thursday, July 21st.
Race the Tour of Utah crit! We will have nearly a full calendar of categories on Sunday, August 23rd beginning at 9:00am with Cat 4/5, Women 1/2/3/4, Masters 40+, Cat 1/2/3 and a Kids race. Race flyer and registration information is available at Sportsbaseonline, go to: https://new.sportsbaseonline.com/events/index.xhtml?categoryId=10730
The Tour also is in need of volunteers, please take the opportunity to get a front row seat to watch the Pros and help keep this race in Utah. We need survey takers, course marshals and race "Experts" that can roam the crowds and answer questions about bike racing. We also need host housing for Pro teams visiting Utah to race. Go to www.tourofutah.com and click on the Volunteer button to sign up for any of these positions.
Finally, we are offering several exciting "backstage" opportunities for the Tour of Utah. These packages help raise funds to insure we can keep putting this great event on while giving someone unique opportunities like: dinner with Bob Roll, a training ride with Floyd Landis and Team OUCH, ride in the race caravan, guaranteed entry into LoToJa 2010, VIP passes and much more. For details contact Terry McGinnis or watch the website, www.tourofutah.com .

Hi All, We are trying to do a better job of getting out information to all UCA members, and we would appreciate it if all UCA members would join the UCA email list. There are occasional announcements that are very important, like timing chip information, race issues, etc., that need to reach every UCA member. Currently, we only have a small percentage of the UCA membership on this list. Your email will NOT be sold or given to any other parties, and you will NOT be spammed or otherwise bothered... only important UCA business will be passed along. Here is the process. You do it through Google. Go to Google.com and go to "my account". After you have either signed in or created an account, go to "Groups" and then sign up for the Utah Cycling Assoc group. Otherwise,
if you can't or won't do this, this Web site is the next best thing to find out information—check it frequently. News is at
the top left (check the archive for older news) and the forums also
have issues and answers! Or email one of the UCA directors (contact tab).
Thanks, Jeff Clawson
