Here's the deal with permission letters:
1) Yes, everyone needs to get a letter of permission to race in Belgium.
I was going to put this on the packing list to go out later this week,
but since the issue has come up, let me explain how to do it. It's very
easy ... just go to "My USA Cycling", scroll down to the bottom to your
"International-Elite" license information, then click "Request Foreign
Permission Letter." You can print it out online. Let me know if you
have any problems.
2) You do not need a release from your US club team. USA University
All-Stars is the official international team printed on your license.
Belgian race promoters will accept this.
