Upcoming Events & USA Cycling License

Parents,
Hello. We have received multiple questions regarding the Ridgeland Cyclocross Festival and purchasing a USA Cycling license. For all kids participating in the Fun Ride category, they do not need a license to participate. For all kids participating in the following categories:
  • Under 15 race (must be 14 year old or less) or
  • Under 10 race (must be 9 years old or under).
They must have either a day license or an annual license to participate. You can get either license at the event on November 18th or ahead of time at the following links:
If you purchase the annual license you will be able to use it for an upcoming cyclocross race in Ridgeland on December 2nd. Also, you will be able to select our team, “Mississippi Cyclocross Project” under the team drop-box.
I will provide greater details during this Saturdays session. Please let me know if you have any question or need assistance.
Healthy Regards,
Mississippi Cyclocross Project Team
