BCR/BCT
The ACA Board of Directors is currently working on updating the BCR/BCT policy. There is a rough draft version posted here. There is also a forum discussion topic you can reach by clicking here. If you promote, work at or compete in cross race, please take the time to review the policy and discuss it on the forum.
There will be a member input meeting for the revisions to the BCR/BCT policy on Monday, July 13th, 6:30 p.m. at the REI in Boulder. If you have any specific items you would like to be addressed, please send an e-mail to execdir@americancycling.org |
A few closing notes:
-Don't forget we still have 9 weekends of great racing AFTER the Fourth of July. The month of August looks to be one of the best in years, culminating in the Steamboat Springs Stage Race on Labor Day weekend. |
