If you are interested in becoming a member of the KCA Board please contact me (dromisch@gmail.com) no later than November 5.

A term is a two year commitment.

How is membership determined.

If we have enough folks request consideration that matches the number of open spots we will accept those individuals to the Board.  If we have more folks than open positions we will have an election.  Team Presidents of USA Cycling Clubs in good standing in Kansas and the Kansas City metropolitan would be sent a ballot to vote.

Once members are determine, the Board will work out which position each person assumes.

If you are interested but have questions feel free to contact me more than happy to discuss!

Colavita Cup has moved to Blue Valley Park, 2301 Topping Avenue, Kansas City, MO  64129. KCMO Parks and Rec is afraid of sustaining damage at Roanoke Park with the recent and expected rain.

Please share this with every racer you know! All times remain the same, only location is changing from Roanoke Park to Blue Valley Park!

If you are interested in becoming a USAC Race Official you can now independently get certified with a tutorial that USA Cycling offers.

The tutorial has 10 modules and takes about 90 minutes to complete. You don’t have to complete the modules in one sitting.  Once completed, you can take an online exam for a Category C Officials license.

With the exam passed, you will then take a SafeSport online course and background check.

Once completed, Amy Fear would like to meet with you to go over additional information that would be helpful as a new official.
