No more Age Classes?

I just got an email today that USA Cycling is doing away with age classes in some categories of women's MTB racing.

Please help sign a petition to get this decision reversed!

Even if it does not affect you, it will probably affect someone you know, and make them less likely to race at NMBS races. The link is in the letter below, and the details are available on the petition web site. You can check a box if you want to remain anonymous on the public petition.

This is the gist of the email:

Dear Friends,

I have just read and signed the petition: "Support Reinstatement of Age Classes in Womens MTB Racing"

Please take a moment to read about this important issue, and join me in signing the petition. It takes just 30 seconds, but can truly make a difference. We are trying to reach 1,000 signatures - please sign here:

Once you have signed, you can help even more by asking your friends and family to sign as well.

Thank you!!!!
