Ladies & Gents, i hope you will consider signing this online petition that supports reinstatment of age classes in Women’s mountain bike racing (from pinkmtb.com)

Recently, USA Cycling, and the National Mountain Bike Series, eliminated many of the age classes for women in the National Mountain Bike Series.

• No women‚Äôs age categories for Beginner and Sport Women Cross Country races
• Expert Women will have three categories 19-29; 30-39 and 40+
• There will be no designation over 40+ in any category

If you believe, as we do, that women athletes should have equal opportunity to race against their peers , please join us in signing this petition to get age classes reinstated in the National Mountain Bike Series!

Sign the petition here.
