The Alpenrose Challenge has been removed from the UCI calendar. I expect

that there will be few readers of this list who will be disappointed that

they will not be competing for UCI points. The good news is that this also

means that only OBRA membership will be required to ride the event, USCF

International license will not be required. If anything, I think this will

improve the event.



I a still looking for sponsors for individual riders. Response this year

has been less that past years. There are several riders that I will be able

to get to the event if we can offset their expenses just a small amount. If

you could sponsor an individual rider please get back to me.
