Weekly Update for February 9, 2012
Karen Hornbostel Memorial Time Trial Series at Cherry Creek State Park


It's almost time for the ACA's signature time trial series, which is one of the most highly attended time trial series in the whole country!  KHMTT is back with the same rolling and fun 9.5 mile course of the last two years.  To avoid the meltdowns of the past, and create a fair registration process for a very popular event, registration for the 2012 KHMTT will be held via a lottery conducted by PreRace and Lima Beans Cycling Club (the club of our Race Director).  

 

PreRace is now accepting registration for the lottery.

  

There is no time pressure during registration, so relax, sit back, and  

spend your energy in training for this great event.

  

2012 KHMTT Flyer can be found here.

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.  

 

 

Watch the ACA website in the next few days for the  

2012 Calendar with Rocky Mtn Road Cup points designations!
