USAC/BRAC 2020 release?

[jfoster21]

Hello Cody & Kathy,

I am nearing the end of the remote BB program and have been trying to figure out my race schedule and training trajectory for 2020. My questions are as follows;

1. Do you know when the USAC/BRAC typically releases their dates for the coming year?

2. I have come to find out that I am more of an endurance rider (using your testing protocol). However, it seems that there are limited CAT 5 road races. Therefore, should I focus on building power/sprint for crits to upgrade so that I can get into the CAT 3/4 road races. I’m just torn on what to focus on for the coming season.

Thank you for your guidance here!

1) it’s often not until late January that BRAC schedules are finalized. Anybody else have different experiences?

2) for ‘road racing’, yes, having a strong sprint is helpful for getting upgrade points as most ‘road racing’ in CO is criterium racing. There are usually several road races in the spring however (Mar-May)… so get in on those while the getting is good!

Will do…. I’ll keep the eye out! Thank you
