On the subject of national calendars, USA Cycling is soliciting applications to be part of the second-annual USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Calendar. 57 events joined the calendars in its first year. In 2008, the structure will again feature three different national-level calendars to recognize the top competitive off-road cyclists in cross country, gravity and ultra-Endurance categories.
Meanwhile, applications are also being accepted to host a 2008 USA Cycling Mountain Bike State or Regional Championship. The goal of these races is to recognize the best off-road cyclists in each state and region and also serve as qualifiers for the USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships, set for July 17-20, 2008 at Mount Snow Resort in Vermont.
