Awards |
USA Cycling State
Championship medals will be awarded to the top three teams
in each category that hold yearly racing licenses; 4th and
5th place receive nice ribbons.
One day licenses holders must ride in the Open category and
the team is not eligible for State Medals or State jerseys.
The event is keeping the fees very low so this year. Southwest Hand Cycling Team will NOT be
purchasing the Arizona State Championship Jersey for the
winners. However each team category winner has the option
to purchase a jersey from Velo Wear. We do not know how many
teams will show up and the jersey for each team would cost
$240 or $60 per cyclist. This would make the cost per team
$320 or $80 per rider for the event to purchase the jersey.
Thank you for your understanding! |

NO, all teams must start with 4 cyclists however they may
finish with 3 as the time is stopped on the third cyclist.

For this year and until the event is well established, NO,
cyclist can come from different ABRA or Non-ABRA teams.
QUESTION:

What happens if one of are teammate has to rescue an
elephant from Alaska and can not make the race?
ANSWER:
First I hope the elephant is saved, you can use an
alternate rider > First the new rider must have a USA

new rider MUST sign the release form and have the license

number at early packet pick up and change in the morning the
rider WILL use the same number and MUST check
in BEFORE the team starts. IF the rider does not
check in the team will be deemed ineligible and DISQUALIFIED
from the event. No exceptions. The Team due to the change
may change categories based on the new rider, they will keep
their original start time and scored with the correct
category.
