Lincoln, NE -- Members of the Nebraska cycling community converged on the Holiday Inn in southwest Lincoln, Saturday, January 21 to discuss the upcoming race season at the Nebraska Cycling Association Annual Meeting.
In addition to our Officials Clinic, Promoters Workshop and annual meeting, USAC Midwest Region Coordinator, Larry Martin was on hand to discuss changes with USA Cycling. Most notable was "paperless" registration through the USAC online registration service. Beginning in 2012, riders over the age of 18 will be able to register online and provide an electronic signature rather than having to fill out a release form on race day. USAC will also be requiring a "minimum officials" rule for different disciplines to alleviate confusion and provide better service.

Award-Winning Documentary Film About Race Across America
 Bicycle Dreams, the award-winning feature-length documentary about the Race Across America (RAAM), will premiere in Omaha at the Aksaren Cinema on Thursday, February 9 at 7 p.m. as part of the film’s ongoing nationwide winter tour. The screening is co-sponsored by the Bellevue Bicycle Club and the Omaha Pedalers Bicycle Club.
The film, which has won numerous awards at film festivals all over the world, “is an up-close look at what RAAM riders go through,” says Stephen Auerbach, the director and producer of Bicycle Dreams. “They deal with searing desert heat, agonizing mountain climbs, and endless stretches of open road. And they do it all while battling extreme exhaustion and sleep deprivation. It’s a great subject for a film.”
