From: bike-racers@mailman.swcp.com

Dear Bike Racers:

               Hope you had a good off season and the 2015 beginning of season are treating you well.  I am writing this e-mail to give you some information about the upcoming 2015 The Adoption Exchange Classic that is due to take place on April 11th-12th.    The race is now open for registration @ New Mexico Sports on Line.

               The race will run on the same format from the previous 5 years, Omnium, and the winner @ each category will be determined by the rider that accumulate the most points over the course of the 3 events, the road race, the individual TT and the CRIT.  Below is a few changes/addition for 2015 edition of the race:

1.      For 2015, the road race will take place on Saturday, April 11th, and the ITT and CRIT will be take place on Sunday, April 12th.  The change was made because the CRIT venue from previous years was not available on April 11th as I have requested.  I am already working to have the CRIT course back for 2016.
2.      For 2015, the CRIT will take place on The Balloon Fiesta grounds.  Directions are in the race bible.
3.      For 2015, the cash purse has been increased from $1,000.00 dollars total to M&W P 1/2/3 to $1,700.00 dollars that will include M&W P 1/2/3 & Master Men 45+(2-4).
4.      For 2015, the King & Queen of Heartbreak Hill purse has been increase from $100.00 total to $200.00 dollars total, $100.00 dollars to Men P 1/2/3 winner and  $100.00 to W P/1/2/3 winner. Details about the King & Queen of Heartbreak Hill in the race bible.
5.      For 2015, the race will award $250.00 dollars to any rider in the Men or Women P 1/2/3 field that can win all 3 events, in addition to the cash prize already offered by the race.
6.      Since the ITT will be taken place on Sunday, April 12th, the winner of the road race from Saturday, April 11th, on the M & W P 1/2/3 will be sporting 2015 The Adoption Exchange Classic skinsuit provided by Castelli.  Other categories will be sporting a Leader’s jersey also provided by Castelli.
7.      For 2015, the race will be introducing a Team TT, but it will not count towards the Omnium.  Detail in the race bible.
8.      Thanks to P2M Cycling Studio, the race will be raffling a brand new PowerTap wheel set.
9.      Collegiate racers receive a $10.00 dollars discount on entry fee and no late fee.
10.   Save $10.00 dollars p/rider on registration by registering as a team for the Omnium. Five riders minimum.
11.    Raise $250.00 for the Adoption Exchange and you will race for free.  Details in the race bible.
12.    Thanks to Zoe Fitness, the race will be providing bottles for neutral feed zone at the top of Heartbreak Hill.  It is recommended that you provide your own feeder if you have special feeding needs.
