UCI License Needed for Elite Mens Race

Racers planning on the Men’s Elite event at this Saturday’s KLM
UCI Cyclocross will need an International License. These may be
purchased on line at USA Cycling
or at the two registration/packet pickups at the Trek Bicycle Store of
Kansas City on Wednesday and Friday. An International license purchased
either way is good until the end of 2006, and covers UCI, USCF and
NORBA all in one. Packet pickup details here.

Those
choosing to race Elite this weekend will get to bump handlebars with
Matt Kelly, the first American to win a Gold Medal at a Cyclocross
World Championship and local fave and multiple National Cyclcross
Champion, Steve Tilford. Since this is crunch time for tuning up for
nationals on December 10th, it’s expected that Elite racers from
Colorado, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas as well as our
regional hot rods from Kansas and Missouri will be on the start at
Wyandotte County Park.
