MWCCC,

For riders looking to apply for upgrades please take a moment to review the USA Cycling Rule book regarding upgrades. I am normally rather lenient that if you meet the requirements I will allow you to upgrade to a higher collegiate level but a few riders have started to push the limits in their upgrade requests. The following items are not accepted for upgrade requests. 

1. Indoor Individual and Team Time Trials 
2. Team Time Trials 
3. Mountain bike and Track results for Road Upgrades (or any other mixture, upgrades for a particular discipline should be warranted by results in that discipline)
4. Little 5 events (I know that Indian riders take great pride in this event but it is not sanction by USA Cycling and does not count towards USA Cycling upgrade points)
5. ABR Races or any other local/regional racing series (not sanctioned by USA Cycling and does not count towards USA Cycling upgrade points)
6. Local training series. 
7. Group training rides with riders that have higher license categories
8. Telling me you are a Cat 1 on the track Cat 4 on the road and you can handle your bike so you should be able to race A's 
9. Photos, videos or links to your personal blogs 

Please let me know if you have any questions and I will try to help clear up any questions. I am also attaching a link to the rule book so please take a second to review before applying for an upgrade.
