Dear Potential 2012 Racers:

With our third season under our belts, we want to recruit the most motivated and dependable racers for the 2012 racing season. First, a recap of the great 2011 team we had. Categories 1, 2, 3 and single‐speed racers competed in local, regional, & state races with many podium finishes. In addition, WMBA won 2^nd place in the 24hours of COS Nationals.

Not only did these racers race strong, but they were the patient and helpful ride leaders at the weekly group rides, behind the scenes clinic organizers, and an integral part of the smooth running of WMBA.

For 2012, we only have 3 open spots on our team of 11. We are seeking women who wish to race, serve our members, and fulfill leadership roles in the organization.

Requirements

Fee: $40 membership dues

Races

• Complete 6 mountain bike races. A race is defined by one entry fee that is paid out of your pocket. If a race includes multi-day events or has one race entry fee that is considered one race. If you are on a relay team it counts toward your 6.

Group Rides

Lead 2 group rides a month for a total of 8 group rides during the season. If you sign up for a group ride and an emergency presents itself you are responsible for finding someone to cover for you.

Service

• Contribute one article or recipe of your choice for the newsletter
• Help with main WMBA events: For example, Season Kickoff Event, Halloween Costume Criterium
• 20 hours of WMBA or community service (i.e. additional group rides, writing additional article for newsletter, trail work, skills rides, etc.) A log will be provided. You will turn this log in at the end of the season in exchange for your race entry fee reimbursement.

Character

• Wear WMBA kit on group rides, training rides, and races
• Always be a courteous rider
• Be supportive and nice to other women riders on the trail, at races, and group rides
• Promote WMBA and our sponsors when possible

Benefits

• Discounts at sponsored shop on parts, accessories, and wrench work
• Pro‐deals on bikes, nutrition, tires, and other cycling companies
• 2 WMBA Racing kits and socks
• Race entry fee allowance
• Other discounts available from our sponsors are currently being negotiated

Evaluation

• Goals‐ why you want to race and be a part of WMBA
• Commitment‐ pledging to compete in at least 6 races
• Endorsement‐ willingness to wear team jersey at all race events, group rides, and a majority of your training rides
• Involvement‐ supporting the WMBA of COS association through leadership and attendance at group rides and events

Ideal racers are women who wish to endorse WMBA of COS through participation in the development of the organization by participating in WMBA events and the organization’s goals. If racing for WMBA in 2012 sounds like something you are interested in, please review the requirements and benefits, fill out the racer application document and email it to us by Sunday, November 27, 2011.

Club team applications will begin in January. If you don’t make the race team, then we will extend the opportunity for you to participate in our club team. The requirements for the club team are three races, one group ride a month, and 10 hours of community service.

Sincerely,

Jessica, Tracy, Betty, and Hillary
