Greetings ToAD fan,
As someone who has raced one of the largest road cycling events in the USA, you understand the importance of planning as part of your goal to perform at a high level during your time at ToAD.
Our goal this year, shared by USA Cycling is to ensure that racing comes back as quickly and safely as possible, and then as you have come to expect from us here in America’s Dairyland, to put on a great event over 11 days!
To help ToAD and USA Cycling make that possible, we would appreciate your immediate support to prepare for tomorrow, or whenever your racing returns. Your continued membership and licensing with USA Cycling helps event organizers like us here at ToAD in the return to racing as we collectively plan for another year of challenges. A critically important step you can take now is to renew or buy your license to maintain and even grow a vibrant race community! We need each other, for without USA Cycling, there is no ToAD and without events like ours, there are not enough licensed racers to help support USAC’s mission, plain and simple.
We all share a common optimism for this season and to calm any worries about participating in races, USA Cycling has instituted a Race License Guarantee, included with your membership. We are proud of our working relationship with USA Cycling as our National Governing Organization (NGO), so our collective support of our sport’s NGO responsible for not only the athletes at the top of the rung, but also looking out for all of us on the lower rungs too is critically important!
So again…
Become a member by 2/28/21 and if you don’t line up at the start of any races in 2021, USA Cycling will extend your Membership and Race License expiration date to June 30th, 2022, no questions asked.
