Bummer -

While we are seeing a return of local rides and races in some areas, Nationals draw a large number of people from around the country. When combined with the challenges of obtaining local permissions and permits, having to heavily modify event formats, and facing financial concerns within both our organization and local organizing committees, we have had to make the very difficult decision to cancel the following events for 2020:

USA Cycling Pro Road National Championships

USA Cycling Amateur Road National Championships

USA Cycling Masters Road National Championships

USA Cycling Gran Fondo National Championships

USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships

USA Cycling Elite and Junior Track National Championships

USA Cycling Masters Track National Championships

167

Collegiate not cancelled yet as well.

168

Definitely a bummer, but also the right call.

At least I can finally mourn the loss properly now, instead of having it pushed back every 2 weeks.

Onwards and upwards.

Hi Guys just read this. I know a few people @Jonathan were still hoping to ride this year. if its been posted then can delete.

I am surprised that AUS are still going ahead with Masters Nationals in October in the state which is recording a second spike. I won’t be going, change tact to 2021. 11 months to train.

I don’t have any information on January.

I think it’s still far enough out that Aus could be okay. But International riders will struggle to get into Aus, isolate for 14 days and then race?

172

To be fair, even Victorians won’t be able to get into South Australia in October at this rate (I’m pretty sure their borders are closed to us at the moment).

173

Oh I didnt know about jingle cross losing its world cup status.

However, that would actually be a pretty significant point in favor of allowing it to go on.

174

Point out of favor - the promoter is a surgeon or something at the local hospital. But I’ll go if it runs!

175

Yep, the week before TdU.

176

DK canceled.

177

Louisville Ironman has been cancelled

178

Just saw that Rochester Cross was cancelled.

180

Figueroa Mountain Fondo cancelled.

181

More bad news:

182

I guess it’s time to learn how to race enduro. Road could be dead for a long time. Mass start XCO/XCM, catatonic. Kanza, Leadville, Cape Epic, doesn’t look good.

TT’s and enduro I think I will see you in 2021.

184

Won’t be long for the 2021 stuff to begin to fall as well.

185

USAC was supposed to have an update on Cross and Marathon Nationals today…anxiously waiting (though certainly not expecting good news).

186

Here in Aus my 2020 A race was pushed to September (with the option of transferring to May 2021, which is what I did), and now both Sep '20 and May '21 have been cancelled.
