Gotta spin again, just like we did before LeMond got caught breakin' the
rules.

The email links in the earlier email I sent out have worked for some and not
for others. Here is a better communication piece.
Dear Fellow Bike Racers,
The Board of Trustees for road, track and cyclo-cross met in Colorado
Springs, Colo. the last weekend of October and voted upon submitted
legislation regarding road, track and cyclo-cross rules for the 2007 racing
season.
A complete guide to the new legislation that was voted upon and passed is
available on the USA Cycling website, or by clicking here: USA
Cycling Rule Changes
Please note, mountain bike specific rule changes will be distributed in the
near future.
For your immediate information, some of the most important and significant
road, track and/or cyclo-cross rule changes for 2007 include:
Junior Gear Restrictions
Juniors must now ride their junior gear limit in all races even when
competing in races with older juniors and seniors.
UCI Legal Bicycle Requirements
UCI legal bicycles will be required as of 2008 for all riders 17 and over
(including masters) at all USA Cycling National Championship events,
international selection races and USA Cycling National Racing Calendar
events.
Radio Usage
The rule for radio usage during races has been clarified to eliminate the
possibility of riders wearing audio playback devices (Walkmans, MP3 players,
etc.) during a race.
Definition of Stage Race
The definitions of "Stage Race" and "Omnium" were clarified. Stage Races
may be run on time or points, but for a race to qualify as a Stage Race,
riders must finish a stage in order to compete in the next one.
Master National Championships
USA Cycling Master National Championships will be run in five-year age
groups across the board for any age group represented. Small fields can be
combined for the start, but riders will be scored separately.

comments, click here: USA

Cycling Rulebook by clicking here:
