Conference championships - important info!

[Megan Kelly]

Hi everyone,

Here are some important notes about the conference championships in MN next weekend.

First of all, although we are going to get slammed with snow tonight (boooo), the forecast for Saturday and Sunday is sunny and in the 60s. Probably your only chance in a lifetime to race Ken Woods in those conditions.

Second of all, double points (team and individual!) are awarded for conference championships. So. 

RR/TTT flyer: https://s3.amazonaws.com/USACFlyers/FL_2013-925.pdf

Crit flyer: https://s3.amazonaws.com/USACFlyers/FL_2013-925.pdf

KEN WOODS IS $35 AT DAY-OF REGISTRATION!
Don't pay that. It's crappy. Pre-register for $15 plus the service fee.

TEAM TIME TRIAL IS PRE-REG ONLY!

And will not be run without at least 5 teams. To register for the TTT, *one* member of the team should pre-register. The reason for pre-reg only is that historically it's been difficult to get people over to the other side of the course for the start, so you need to know what you're doing, and plan ahead. I will be doing my best to shepherd folks over there. Check the flyer for a map of where it starts. Ride over or park on the side of the road - not in the other church lot. On the day of, each team will need to check in and give the names of the other members and designate what category they want to race (remember! You can race up if you have the appropriate number of people!)

For homestays check the e-mail Jason just sent.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Information is also available at http://race.umct.org/. Similar to what Megan posted information-wise, though with more words and some extra links to things like online registration and Google maps for the race locations.

Also, I am the race director/primary contact for the criterium; don't hesitate to email me with any questions or concerns regarding it.

Another heads-up: due to the TTT's starting halfway across the course, we'll be doing podiums for the road race on Sunday with the crit podiums and conference awards. That'll be at about 2:00pm on Sunday.
