RMRC  

Get ready for a great season of road racing in Colorado with a new name for the overall points competition and a new points structure that better supports our promoters and racers!  The Rocky Mtn Road Cup replaces the BAR/BAT competition but has the same goals:  to provide the best events for our community, and to determine the best riders and teams over the course of a season.  The Cup features a three-tiered point schedule for our events:  Gold, Silver and Bronze.  Gold events have the most points on offer, and represent the biggest and best events on the calendar.  Silver events have the middle level of points, and Bronze is for new events or those which wish to remain smaller and more grassroots in nature.  Information on the Rocky Mtn Road Cup is available on the ACA website, and this includes the point schedule for events, FAQs, and a summary of the Cup rules.
