We have received bids for the State Road events and reviewed them. Bids received are as follows:

The 360 club of Owasso would like to hold a state Criterium event in Owasso (on a revised course eleminating 76th St north)  on August 19, 2012.  On another note, the Tom's club would like to also hold a State Criterium but need to find a venue. They cannot use the Jenks venue this year. If they can come up with a suitable venue, we could have both. One for the categorys and one for the age graded.

The OKC Velo club submitted a bid to hold the State Individual Time Trial event again near Lawton on the same course as last year. The date for this is Septembe 16, 2012.

Would like to give a big THANK YOU to all that came out to the new racers clinic yesterday. Thanks especially to Buster Brown, David Billingsly and Dennis Bowles for their help. We had 25 attendees there for breifing on racing rules and on the bike practice in cornering, riding in a pack and rotating a pace line. Dispite one rider going down and injuring his hip I think the group had a good time and learned a little about racing in a mass start event.
