CAT 1 Racers are not allowed to purchase 1-day licenses, they must purchase an annual license in order to compete in a USA Cycling Mtn Bike Event.
This rule adversely effects racing in the following ways:
1. It has reduced the Cat 1 fields. Occasional racers do not choose to participate when they have to purchase an annual license.
2. It has encouraged sandbagging in the Cat 2 class, as racers avoid having to move up categories due to cost.
The undersigned petitioners would like for USACycling to allow Cat 1 racers (as well as Cat 2-3) to purchase 1 Day licenses. It is understood that this may mean that National Points will not be applied to racers who only purchase 1 day licenses.
The feedback from the community confirms that these cost barriers are forcing talented racers out of the top tier or into lower categories. Email your local USA Cycling regional representative today to demand they address this licensing hurdle. We need them to see that this outdated policy is actively hurting our race fields.

The message is clearly landing with the racing community. Post a link to this petition on your Facebook feed and tag USA Cycling directly. We need to keep this pressure steady until they address the cost barrier.

makes no sense to force an annual license for a once a year racer. the barriers to entry are way too high.
