Here's a letter from the new Presdient of the Kansas Cycling Association:
"Nov 25th 2007
The KS Cycling Association annual meeting and election was held Nov 18th. If you’re wondering what our mission is the KCA is an association of race promoters/club presidents joined together to coordinate and better racing in Kansas.
Curt Shelman and Curtis Martell stepped down after years of volunteering their time to get our little group going. We owe them and all our previous volunteers a debt of gratitude for their efforts to improve racing.
Our newly elected Board of Directors is listed below. Feel free to contact any of us with ideas, questions or the urge to volunteer. We look forward to doing our best to further the sport of bicycle racing. (click on 'read more')

We have two big events and one important meeting coming up in December.
The Kansas Bicycle/Pedestrian Federation’s organizational meeting is Dec 2nd in Emporia from 2 to 5 PM at the public library. Our goal is to mimic the MO Bike Fed which has been instrumental in changing state laws for the better for bicycle traffic. This advocacy effort will benefit all of us as cyclists. Contact Gina Poertner gksport5@yahoo.com to RSVP for the meeting.
Kansas Cyclocross Championships are Dec 9th in Leavenworth. Come out and race or just watch the racing.

Cyclocross National Championships are Dec 13th – 16th at Wyandotte Co. Park in Kansas City. Check out the best racers in the country battling it out or get involved and volunteer to help out and get some free BBQ, coffee and schwag while you’re at it.
