Utah Cycling News

There have been a couple of changes on the State TT.

First, the cat 5s were originally left off the flyer - they are now included. Sorry guys! This was just an oversight on the flyer, of course you have a race.

Second, the flyer originally stated that you can not race for a state championship in multiple categories. NOT TRUE. You CAN race for a state championship in both your USAC category and masters (for instance)... but you must sign up and race in BOTH time trials. In other words, you can not race in Cat 3, post a time, and then ask to have that time count for a masters state championship. Obviously, you would have to sign up and race in masters too, to post a result there.

There was a question about the masters B only doing 20K. This is because masters B is a Cat 4 and Cat 5 class. The shorter distance is to fill the requirement for a shorter distance for beginning (cat 5) riders.

Sorry for the confusion! Again, if you have any further questions you can post them here, or contact Marek Shon at utcritseries@gmail.com

See you out there!

I just wanted to go over a few things for next week’s Race, The Antelope Island Classic.

-          We have two Cat 5 races; Cat 5A and Cat 5B.  This is due to the USAC rule that we cannot have more than 50 cat riders in a cat 5 race.  They are two completely separate races with separate prizes.  You can sign up for either event.  Just make sure that if you want to race with someone you know that they sign up for the same race.

-          Timing chips will not be used.  We will use high speed cameras.

-          The registration, Parking, the Johnsonville Bratwurst Party, Results and the start of the race will be at the Marina at the West end of the Causeway as you enter the actual Island.  You will need to tell the park ranger at the Causeway Toll Booth that you are a participant.  They will only charge you $2.00 for your vehicle to access the causeway and the island.  PLEASE CARPOOL.

-          No cars are allowed at the finish line.  The finish line and the marina are about two miles apart.

-          There will be a feed zone for Cat 1/2 and Cat 3 only.

-          Online registration will close on Thursday.  If you plan on late registration on Saturday, please get their early.  Late registration will close 30 minutes prior to the start of your race.  There will also be a $10 late fee.

-          We will not tolerate any public urination or littering.  Violators will be fined and subject to State prosecution.  It also jeopardizes the future of this event.

-          The gate to cross the causeway will open at 6:30 am.

We hope to see all of you out.  We have changed the race course somewhat from last year.  The course description is listed on the flyer.
