Fellow Cyclists and Promoters,

The MCF is off to an early start this year in planning for the Rider of the Year (ROY) competition. Like 2010, the race series will consist of three criteriums, three road races, and two time trials over the course of the race season.

Applications from promoters are currently being accepted and are DUE FEBRUARY 1, 2011. The next MCF meeting (Monday, February 7) is when applications will be reviewed and the ROY race schedule will be finalized.

The ROY policies for 2011 and the APPLICATION can be found HERE.

For the 2011 season, I have volunteered to triage communications regarding the ROY competition and to approve all race fliers prior to the events. Please contact me with any questions.

Thanks,
Linsey Hamilton
