Well...that Local Association conference call with US Cycling was depressing. Can't make it public but price changes are on their way. Nothing major to racers. Hope your auto renewal is on.

Racer days are down. -12% or 56,000 for the year. Licenses are actually up by 1,300 over 2017 but that is 100% due to auto-renewal.

I didn't catch the details at the start but insurance premiums that USA Cycling has to pay to their insurance company are going up by 38-48% or some such craziness. 2 large settlements were finished up and USA Cycling is being made to pay them out instead of insurance paying them (most likely as a concession to keep insurance coverage in the future). I don't know details or specifics but I am sure one was the racer death in St Louis in 2017
