Every year USA Cycling updates its rules for all its bike racing disciplines and without exception, the rule changes catch some unsuspecting bike racers by surprise (remember the maximum tire width changes for cyclocross nats in 2010 and other last-minute changes?). Regardless of the timing of the cycling rules, the onus is on license-holding racers [...]
Yesterday the Cyclocross Magazine website featured a report, “USA Cycling Pressures OBRA, Independent Organizations and Events,” that generated quite a bit of attention and feedback. Rumors have been surfacing about USAC no longer permitting dual-sanctioned events (where another sanctioning body runs some of the categories, as in the USGP in Bend, Oregon) as well as [...]
USA Cycling has selected three finalist cities to host the 2014 and 2015 Cyclocross National Championship: Boulder, Colorado (Valmont Bike Park), Austin, Texas (Zilker Park), and Asheville, North Carolina (Billtmore Estate). With the 2012 and 2013 championship slated for Madison, Wisconsin, USA Cycling reduced an original tally of six bids to three based on accessibility, [...]
I have extensive experience with racing in the US and Europe; I know the differences and successes between the two, which will contribute to how we approach the growth and management of the sport. I’ve been involved in teaching clinics, coaching cyclocross specific athletes and encouraging others to try the sport and help it grow. I know the technical ins and outs of cyclocross and feel I would be a good candidate for the committee.
Colorado Springs, Colorado – USA Cycling’s new rankings system is now available for all current licensees via their My USA Cycling Account. The revamped system will not only provide increasingly accurate rankings, but also the ability to compare and contrast results and rankings with fellow riders across disciplines, age and ability categories.
Geoff Proctor truly is a Jack Of All Trades: not only does he manage to stay involved in cyclocross at nearly every level, from junior development to running camps to sitting on the UCI commission to racing, but he also manages a full-time job as an English teacher teaching AP Lit. He’s also responsible for EuroCrossCamp, a hugely successful venture that is now in it’s ninth year. That he had time at all to sit down and answer a few questions for us was amazing, especially since he just finished running his USAC Cyclocross Development camp for junior racers.
From July 25-28 at Carroll College in Helena, Mont., Geoff Proctor will hold a Cyclo-cross development camp for selected riders. The camp is designed to work on skills, technique, training and set short-term as well as long-range goals.
