The bid process for hosting the Oklahoma State Championships for 2010 is now open.  You can read more about it here.

The deadline for submitting an application to host the road, criterium, or time trial championship is March 9, 2010.  Cyclocross is August 10th.

The board will review and announce the dates and venues for road events by April 1st.

There are two important changes that everyone should be aware of for 2010:

• Changed masters women from 35+ to 40+.
• Combined the 1/2 and 3 women's jerseys for cyclocross into one category 1/2/3 jersey like on the road.

Registration for the first race of the Oklahoma Road Racing Season is open. The Salty Cow Race Extravaganza will take place with a criterium and a circuit race on March 6 & 7.  The event is hosted by the Tulsa Wheelmen.

Please see the events page for the official race flier.

Not only does USA Cycling license riders and officials, they also license qualified and trained bicycle mechanics. Below listed are the most current list of USAC licensed mechanics in the state of Oklahoma.  USAC just wrapped up a clinic in Colorado Springs and graduated 49 students.  Race promoters, clubs, shops, teams and events that involve bikes in general should try and utilize these people when possible.  I believe that most on the list would be happy to volunteer to gain experience, especially the newly licensed individuals.
