These are events we have scheduled or have tentative dates on so far. Please let us know if you are planning a cycling, MTB, or multi-sport event so we can get it on the calendar. For our local event coordinators ? please firm up the dates and details on your events asap and get them to us so we can forward out to the masses!
Note that is was decided by the NDCF Board that this year we will not be continuing with our Points Series. Due to everyone?s schedules it is difficult for participants to make all events throughout the summer which takes away from the spirit of the points series. In light of this we opted to drop the points series and concentrate on individual events this year with a special emphasis on getting more novice and recreational riders participating in all our local events. Of course if you can offer volunteer help for any of the events in your area please contact myself or the local event coordinator ? we never can have too many volunteers!
Happy Training!
