Updating Your USAC Profile

Yvonne has noticed that many riders do not have their club listed on their license and that some licenses are showing as ‘pending’ in the USAC database. A ‘Pending’ license is not valid at races. Chances are that you did not sign the USAC waiver when you renewed. 

Please check your USAC account and make sure your club is listed. If your license is pending, click on the license tab in your account and sign your waiver. If the waiver is signed and it still shows as ‘pending,’ then you need to contact USAC (membership@usacycling.org) to sort out the problem.

Ongoing Topics

New Digital Platform

We are constructing a new digital platform to replace the old BRAC website. This new site will have a new filterable comprehensive calendar, will hold and display results, calculate Cup points and serve as a club management tool. Until the platform is released, the best place to find results is USA Cycling.

2023 Racing for Road and Cross

2023 road racing includes events held in coordination with the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Cycling Conference and the traditional Rocky Mountain Road Cup. Cup points will be available at most road events in 2023. Cup points earned prior to the new platform’s release (for both individuals and teams) will be counted for the 2023 Rocky Mountain Road Cup.

2023 will include a cyclocross racing season with the traditional Colorado Cross Cup and State Championships. Please see our Cross Cup page for more info.

Paired Membership Model with USAC

We are very pleased to announce a new, reimagined membership relationship between Bicycle Colorado (which in 2023 is serving as the Local Association in Colorado) and USA Cycling. For 2023, this paired membership model includes a Racing Membership with Bicycle Colorado ($40 value) with your purchase of a RACE Membership from USA Cycling! 

What do you need to do?

Go to USA Cycling to purchase your 2023 RACE Membership. USAC will share this information with Bicycle Colorado, including current memberships that were purchased in 2022. In the next few weeks, Bicycle Colorado will send you an email to activate your user account. Once you are confirmed in our new membership database, you’ll be included in Bicycle Colorado communication, offers and programs including our season-long Cup points competitions.

Communications

Please share this update with your friends and teammates. They can subscribe to future emails using this link.  

Thank you for your continued support of cycling in Colorado during this time of transition. We greatly appreciate your commitment and patience as we finalize the details and build a new digital platform to support our cycling community. We look forward to seeing you at incredible cycling events in 2023!

Yours in cycling,

The Team at Bicycle Colorado
