A week ago Richard and I watched recaps of the "TOUR DOWN UNDER". It got us all excited about the upsoming cycling season. It seems as if it has been a long time since our cycling season. We have both gotten our National Appointments. Richards appointment was for Tour of Leelanau as a Motor Referee. Richard then got a call from Shawn asking him to work the Junior/U23/ Elite National Championship. Then the dreaded email came that Tour of Leelanau had been canceled. Richard is hoping to get a few more opportunities to work as a Motor this year.
My appointments were for the Redlands Cycling Classic, Oregon Pro Cycling Classic, Cascade Clasic and the Tour of Missouri. I also got a phone call from Shawn asking if I could add the Tour of the Gila to my summer. After accepting all of these races, I also got the dreaded email saying that the Oregon Pro Cycling Classic had been cancelled for this year. I had enjoyed working that race last year so was disappointed.
It will be a great year for us. Next week is the Annual Officials Meeting here in Utah and we should hear about our local appointments. Hopefully we will get to work some Collegiate races, they are great fun. Maybe some races in Idaho, California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington will also come our way. We truly enjoy what we do and look forward to another fun year of Officiating.

Ohhh, races in Washington would be awesome ;)
You guys are the best officials. Jamie will be racing again this year, yes Adam is the new support crew, but we will still be around! We look forward to seeing you around the lycra....
