IMPORTANT USAC NOTE REGARDING USE OF MULTIPLE BIKES
Those of you who raced last year may remember that we made an amendment to the official USAC cycling rules and allowed racers to use more than one bicycle. This year there will be no such amendment.
Racers WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO USE MORE THAN ONE BICYCLE.
What does that mean? It means you MUST use only the bicycle you start the race with.
Racers or prohibited from "cannibalizing" other bikes to fix/repair their race bike.
That's enough dribble for now.
Hopefully you have been getting your saddle time in.
Those of you who remember, your ass will be sore....those of you who are first-timers, get ready for a world of hurt!
Prepare yourself for hours of agony and judgement of sanity along with the great sense of accomplishment upon completion: you're about to do SOMETHING WICKED!
