Minors must have a LEGAL guardian (not coach) sign their release form. Important Note: What s the difference between Packet Pick-Up and Registration?

In order to register, each collegiate rider must be marked as qualified by his or her conference director, indicating that the rider has participated in his or her conference season, if one is held. If you are unable to register, please contact your Conference Director. Courses For Juniors Ages 9-12 USA Cycling endeavors to create a course that is age-appropriate for younger juniors as well as the correct distance to allow a multiple-lap event. This means taking the existing elite course and shortening it in a couple of spots. We will announce these cutoff points on Thursday evening, January 8 and put up signage on Friday to communicate these course changes. FOOD/ALCOHOL ON SITE FOOD/ALCOHOL Food: There will be food trucks on-site to sell food to participants/spectators during most days. There are also a number of restaurants within walking distance of Zilker Park along Barton Springs Drive. Alcohol: Alcohol will be available for purchase inside the designated Beer Garden only on Friday- Sunday from 12PM-5PM. There will be Austin police personnel along with uniformed security manning each entrance. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL PERMITTED OUTSIDE THE BEER GARDEN. THIS IS AGAINST TEXAS STATE LAW.

16 COLLEGE RECRUITMENT FAIR USA Cycling is pleased to offer junior and U23 riders attending the 2015 USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Championships an opportunity to talk with collegiate cycling program directors, team leaders, and admission officials from across the country. Collegiate cycling offers riders of all ability levels the chance to race in a team-focused environment while representing their colleges or universities. In the words of Ted King (Cannondale Pro Cycling), who started racing in collegiate cycling for Middlebury College, Collegiate cycling is awesome. I can thank collegiate cycling almost exclusively for getting me where I am today. In a word, collegiate cycling is just fun week in and week out you get to see the same awesome people from across the collegiate spectrum, have a blast racing with them, witness their ridiculous antics, and just have a great time doing it. Collegiate cycling is not something you ll want to miss out on, and neither is this recruitment fair, so be sure to stop by! Where: Team/Expo Area at Zilker Park When: Friday, January 9 th, 10am 1pm In attendance will be representatives from schools including: Fort Lewis College Lindenwood University Ripon College Lees-McRae College Milligan College Marian University Mars Hill University University of Colorado Boulder King University Adams State University COLLEGIATE TEAM RELAY GUIDELINES Each team will have up to four riders with at least one woman and one man, and no more than two men or two women. Potential team compositions would be: WM; WMM; WWM; WWMM One representative of each team starts the race and at the end of each lap, there is an exchange to another rider. The race will be 4 laps long and riders may not do consecutive laps, so exchanges are mandatory each lap, even if a team has fewer than four riders. Any two laps must be completed by women. The exchange area will be divided into two lanes. Riders finishing their lap will funnel into one lane, and from the other lane, riders waiting to start their lap will start moving once their teammate has crossed the exchange line in the other lane. Riders may not exit their start stalls until their incoming teammate has entered the exchange zone. The rider finishing a lap MUST cross the finish line BEFORE his/her teammate. [10 second penalty] Teams pick start stall at time of call-up. This stays the team s start stall for the entire race. The event counts toward the Team Omnium only. 16 Revised 12/30/14
