[NCNCA] McLane Pacific Cancelled for 07

All,
Thanks to all that came out last year to the Central Valley Classic, despite
the unusually awful weather.
For what it's worth, we are still planning on having an NRC event AND a
three-day stage race for some categories.
It will be the same weekend as last year, March 9th, 10th and 11th. 45
minutes south of McLane Pacific. Same time trial and criterium as last
year, and we are planning a new road race course, the one we are looking at
has plenty (plenty!) of climbing. Details coming soon.
And yes, USAC has placed new requirements for the purse in NRC events, along
with a few other hoops for us to jump thru.
Also, new website coming out sometime next week, or whenever I can get it
done. I will post something here when it's available.

For anyone who is interested USAC has posted the proposed USCF rule changes
the USCF Board of Trustees will be considering later this month. Anyone who
is interested in looking over the proposed rule changes can go to
<http://www.usacycling.org/forms/USCF%20Fall%202006%

Casey,
Can you explain what this means?
"McLane Pacific did offer to continue to sponsor the event at the level of
the previous years, but that level was not enough to meet the requirements
currently set by USA Cycling."

Speculating here, but it sounds like USAC set some stricter rules for making
it onto the NRC and I guess they couldn't meet them.
http://www.usacycling.org/news/user/story.php?id=496
I wonder what NRC event is taking its place.
Hopefully they'll do that with all levels of races, so we can free up a more
weekends during the year, for golf and shuffleboard. Maybe they should try
to ixnay Cat's hill and Nevada city next - something to shoot for in 2008?
On USAC's side of things, why would they change the rules for an
11-year-old, barely-relevant race series, if it means killing off a 14 year
old event with a great sponsor (Warren Buffett! indirectly) that draws what,
over a thousand entries over the two days? Isn't that one of the most
successful CA race weekends on the calendar?
On promoter's side, why didn't they just run it as a non-NRC race? Hell drop
Pro/1 entirely and it's still going to be a huge event, and the parking will
be better. Does anyone really give a rat's ass whether it's on the NRC?
Other than those racing the NRC of course. Maybe the sponsor does?
The concept of Colorado dictating standards to races seems backwards.
USAC needs all the Mclane-pacifics it can get and the board should be
meeting this weekend to keep it alive.
At least, in my imaginary world where USAC is the governing body for weekend
amateurs too. You know, the ones who generate 98% of USAC revenues...

EMC/Vellum Cycles would be there in force, NRC or no NRC. We are very sad to
see this go.

I heard from someone involved in the 2006 McLane that this year they could
not come up with the required money - specifically the $10,000 minimum for
the pro purse and additional $ for medical control (drug
testing.) The title sponsor was not interested in doing the race unless it
was NRC, so...
Stage races? It seems we might want to concentrate on saving the events we
have.

To whom ever is reading this that loves cycling and lives in N. California:
I don't claim to be an expert on any of this stuff and know that it
is probably a lot of hard work putting a race together, but if a state that
is generally poorer than California, such as Oregon, can put on 3-4 very
nice stage races, I think we Californians can as well. Riders are willing
to travel the distances to do them if they know they are quality. With all
do respect to Velo Promo - and I hope I don't get hate mail for saying this
- but the Madera Stage race is not at the same level as, say, Elkhorn.
Don't get me wrong about McLane, it is a really great event, but
there are already a whole lot of criteriums and rolling hill races. What
about catering to those riders who can't always afford to travel to Oregon?
How about having a well rounded race schedule that not only benefits the
sprinters, but benefits riders who would like to put their climbing and time
trialing abilities to some use? I'm sure there are some people that would
disagree, but I'm sick of being quiet about this! Maybe some clubs could
team up to put on a stage race, but this is probably unlikely. I'd get off
my butt and do something about this, but I'm in college and am very busy,
maybe after college - but until then, I wish you people who are currently in
charge of putting races together (I'm not familiar with the dynamics) would
please put together a nice stage race. And, you know, the slot for McLane
is right after the Tour of California, and it seems to me there would be a
lot of motivated riders who would love to do a timed stage race. In fact,
there usually aren?t any stage races around that time in Oregon that would
compete with a stage race of the same caliber. Furthermore, California
weather is usually better than Oregon's around that time of year and you
might find riders from up North willing to ride a stage race in the south.
Like I said, "I don't claim to be an expert on any of this stuff and
know that it is probably a lot of hard work putting a race together." But I
hope someone is out there is listening that would be willing to make many
racer's dreams come true!
Thank you,
Demetrius

I saw that in the USAC thing on applying to be NRC, I was wondering
about that - promoter pays for doping controls. Sad state of affairs
when dopers help kill off a central valley race.
The race seemed to run just fine last year, but I'm sure the new NRC
rules and fatter purses are going to have a dramatic effect on growing
the sport. Yeah right!
Hey wait, if NRC purses were forced to be SMALLER wouldn't that REDUCE
the incentive to dope?
I like "pro cycling" less and less every week...

Why does a race need to be an NRC race to be successful?
Given the time of year and location, McClain Pacific will continue to fill
all categories regardless of NRC status. It is a great race at the right
time of year.
