"The 33"-Road Bike Racing - First race March 5

My first race is a week from saturday so i am putting in the big push this week. I am so excited. There was really no point to this thread sorry about that. I just had to vent my Excitement.

That's great and good luck with your race. Just remember to conserve some of that excitement for the finish ;)

What race are you doing? What kind of race is it?

Its a 32 mile road race. In reily oh. I will be racing in the junior division.

Ditto that. Circuit (Road) races Sat and Sunday. Its going to feel good to stretch out the legs again (Though my lungs will be in for a rude awakening!)

I'm so unsure of my fitness level relative to last year - but if I'm as strong as I think I am I'm hoping to do well - especially in the criterium.

what age group? i'm going to the same race, although it's on sunday. I'll be riding 17-18 for savage hill

One question can you get your uscf license online?

Yes, you'll then be able to print out a receipt that will show your license # to use at the race and you'll get your stuff in the mail the following week. According to what I've heard, if you sign up at the race, it takes a lot longer to get your stuff.

I forgot to add i knew that i could get it online but im a junior and so i have to print out a waiver for the parents to sign and mail it in and i was worried that i wouldnt get my liscence on time

good luck tell how it goes!

Good on you for picking a real sport instead of some stick and ball nonsense! Kick some butt kid and shave your legs...the ladies love it!

According to what I've heard, if you sign up at the race, you'll be lucky to see your license this season.

Do yourself a favor and buy it online

Congratulations, man. Temper your expectations. Don't know what your fitness or ability levels are, but expect it to be very fast. My first race is April 1, and I'm just hoping to finish. Few lucky souls win or place in their first race.

I renewed my license (didn't race last year though :( ) recently at usacycling.org (http://www.usacycling.org) and it arrived yesterday. If you register tonight, you may have a fighting chance. At minimum, you might get your licence #, then be able to present that to your race's sponsor.

EDIT: Whoops I see you needed to mail a parental waiver. Cutting it close. Let us know how it goes either way.

EDIT 2: Zanesville? My old stomping grounds. Went to St. Thomas Aquinas. Rooted for the Blue Devils back in the day. Dating a girl from Cambridge now. Good times, good times...

Can you buy a one day license if you are a junior as well?

Can you buy a one day license if you are a junior as well?

I think so - your parents will have to sign the waiver there. As a junior I don't think you can do the print-out thing because of the waiver.

Parents will have to sign the waiver at the race if you do a one day license.
