Happy first day of Spring! Must be time to think about cyclocross. As the cx series director for 2016-17, I want to begin the planning process for the 2016-17 season. First off, a big thanks to all of last year’s cx race directors for hosting some great events as well as to all the racers, officials, volunteers, sponsors and others who made it all happen. We want to continue to grow cross in NM for this year and I am excited to be a part of this great sport.
We will be having the first planning meeting for the cx series, Thursday April 7, 6-8pm at Sport Systems in ABQ to begin this process. All interested cx race directors, potential race directors, racers, officials, sponsors and interested others are invited to attend. If you can’t make this date, no worries, we will likely have future meetings and you may also contact me directly to supply any input into the making of the cx series.
I feel my role as series director will be to act as coordinator and support for individual race directors, and a liaison between USAC, officials, NMBRA, sponsors and others and to assist with creating an organized and cohesive race series, provide communications and promotion for the series, improve sponsor support, and assist with logistics and supplies. We will also be setting up an executive council of around 5-9 individuals to help move this process along. Overall, I hope to help make the series for racers, fun and exciting and for directors, an effective, efficient and financially viable endeavor.
Please join us on April 7 to get things going or contact me directly. Please feel free to forward this message to anyone of interest.

Thanks!
