LAJORS Schedule Growing--Politics Free Zone

Martin Clan

2000-03-15

Junior racing is a "Politics Free Zone" thus, as per last year's precedent,

LAJORS races may be combined as part of a non-USCF racing event. The

current National LAJORS Calendar is attached, however I have also listed

several Northwest possibilities including a possible Oregon LAJORS series.

The USCF will provide promoters with ribbons and possibly medals for "point

series" winners.



As per changes from last year, placings within EACH stage of a LAJORS stage

race are now being counted toward LAJORS points. LAJORS rankings, as shown

on the USAC website will emphasize regional racing. Top three qualifying

riders of the older age groups will be eligible to participate in regional

identification or Supercamps.



Applications for LAJORS designation may be found on the USCF Juniors page

http://www.usacycling.org/juniors/ (right side-bar) or by contacting Susie

Barton-Stetson, sbar-@usacycling.org or 719/578-4949 X3297 with questions

regarding your event or an event that you think would be a good candidate

for a LAJORS event. PARENT VOLUNTEERS ARE ESSENTIAL TO MAKING JUNIOR RACING

A SUCCESS: Ask your local promoter what you can do to help.



The only NW LAJORS event on the calendar thus far is the Ecology Center

Stage Race, Missoula, MT, May 26-29, Jeff Crouch, 406/728-5790

www.wildrockies.org/ .



Other possible Northwest Regional LAJORS Point Series opportunities:

April 29-30 Tour of Walla Walla, WW Washington

http://www.wallawallawa.com/nwcc.htm

(Would need to be designated a LAJORS race if possible)

May 20-21 Mutual of Enumclaw Stage Race

(Would need to be designated a LAJORS race if possible)

May 27-29 Ecology Classic Stage Race, Missoula, MT

http://www.wildrockies.org/bikeclassic/

(Already designated a LAJORS race)

June 9 Leavenworth RR, http://www.pazzovelo.com/leavenwo1.htm

(Possible LAJORS 15-18 field could ride 58 miles Masters+35 men course 5

min ahead/behind. LAJORS women would need to ride the women's field or an

amended women's field. Parent volunteers would be needed for follow cars

etc.)

July 19-23 Cascade Classic, Bend, OR http://www.cascade-classic.org/

(Possible LAJORS 15-18 field could ride Cat 3 Field, but be scored

separately)

August 12 Volunteer Park Criterium, Seattle, WA

http://www.pazzovelo.com/voluntee1.htm

(Possibly add LAJORS segment)



Oregon specific opportunities that could easily accommodate LAJORS

racing--again, LAJORS racing is a "Politics Free Zone" but parent

volunteers are essential to making Junior racing happen. Ask the promoter

what you can do to help:

May 21 Beaverton Grand Prix Criterium

June 4 Silverton Criterium

June 17-18 Woodland Bottoms

June 24 White City Circuit Race

July 15 Mt. Tabor Criterium

July 30 Oregon TT

? District Criterium
