   - As you current Road/CX Upgrade Coordinator for New Mexico I would like
   to encourage all racers that want/need an upgrade to submit your request
   sooner then later.  It takes me a couple days to complete and depending on
   how much information and lead I have, it may take longer.  More information
   can be found @ USAC website
   <https://www.usacycling.org/road-category-upgrade-guidelines.htm> .
   Bellow are the general gidelines

   soon.  If your are planning an event and you would like to have it listed
   please contact me off the bike-racers list and I will make sure it will be
   included. Please note that your event does not need to be sanctioned by
   USAC to be listed, although I would encourage you to do so due to
   liability.
