Dirt Divas Race Team Kick-Off Meeting Mar 15, 2011 View URL


Image

Dirt Divas (Denver - Boulder)

Our first race team meeting is scheduled for March 21, 6:30pm at our team mechanic's house in South Denver. This meeting is being held to get organized and to give you a chance to ask questions and meet other Divas. It's also a good chance to drop off your bike for a spring tune.


We are welcoming all levels of team members, even those who have never raced before. Experienced racers can challenge themselves with a fun group. New racers can test the waters of racing in supportive, friendly company. To be on the Dirt Divas race team all you need is an active Dirt Diva membership ($40/year) and purchase a team kit to wear at the races. Last year’s kit is okay too.


Depending on how many ladies we have, there will be several teams. Team A is for those who can commit to finishing 5 or more Winter Park Races. No other teams have race attendance goals. There are absolutely no expectations for finishing place for any team, just finishing with a smile :).


For more info please contact Molly or Christine at dirtdivasrace@gmail.com or you can call with questions.

USA Cycling Lifts Ban on Race Radios Mar 11, 2011 View URL

Race Radios to be permitted again in NRC competition

 

(USA Cycling Press Release)

(March 11, 2011) — After gathering input from U.S. teams, riders, organizers, officials and other stakeholders, USA Cycling has determined that teams will be allowed to once again use race radios in National Racing Calendar (NRC) competition and at the USA Cycling professional and elite road national championship events. 

Following international precedent in 2010, USA Cycling banned the use of race radios in national-level events with subsequent plans for evaluation on all aspects of that decision at the end of the year. After review, the U.S. Professional Racing Organization board of trustees recommended lifting the radio ban.

“As we approached the 12 month anniversary of the radio ban in domestic races, we listened to input from the various affected stakeholders including officials, race directors, team directors and riders,” said USA Cycling CEO Steve Johnson.  “In the process, we considered all of the categories of the racing environment that are impacted by radios including rider and spectator safety, caravan and peloton management and team/rider communication, frankly, radios won on every count.”

“The vast majority of athletes, teams and event managers agree that safety cannot be compromised, and that progressive sports use more communications technology, not less,” stated Bob Stapleton, owner of HTC-Highroad professional cycling team and USA Cycling board of directors USPRO representative. “The goal is to make cycling both safe and exciting and to ultimately bring the audience further into the action.”

“The decision was made because we believe race radios bring a unique level of strategy that is good for cycling, provide for innovation opportunities with our broadcast partners, and gives everyone in the peloton an additional safety measure,” stated USA Cycling board of directors President and USPRO representative Bill Peterson. “We have spent considerable time discussing this issue with many experienced racers, team managers, and race organizers; we have yet to find anyone make a convincing case to eliminate race radios. Therefore we are allowing radios within the races we control, and I suspect many countries around the world will follow our lead.”

“We've based our decision on several factors including the nature of racing in the United States and the inherent safety and liability issues that we feel are extremely important,” explained professional cyclist and U.S.P.R.O. board of trustees athlete representative Nick Reistad. “In my own cycling career, I can detail examples where race radios were critical in relaying information regarding safety hazards, including emergency vehicles traveling backwards on the course, which could have put my life, and the lives of those racing with me, in imminent danger.”

The first 2011 NRC event, the Redlands Bicycle Classic will take place March 31 – April 3.
