Wednesday, October 13, 2004

Dear USA Cycling Clubs:

Thank you for your continued commitment to USA Cycling. We are anticipating another exciting year for the sport of cycling.

As we close out another great year, it is time for the 14th annual Club of the Year Award Program. The purpose of the program is to recognize USA Cycling clubs that have made an exceptional effort to develop programs that promote all aspects of competitive cycling.

1. Division I (76 + members)
2. Division II (30-75 members)
3. Division III (1-29 members)

There will also be a number of special awards to recognize clubs in the following areas: junior’s program, master’s program, track, mountain biking, women’s program, collegiate development, and best new club.
