Northeast Bicycle Club Race Reimbursement Plan
General Description
The Race Reimbursement Program ("RRP") provides USA Cycling annual licensees
(USCF and NORBA) with entry fee reimbursement for open USCF-, NORBA- and
EFTA-sanctioned races, or other races if sufficient races are not available
in an age group. The Total Reimbursement Moneys ("TRM"), which will be determined
by January 10, along with the total amount of reimbursement claimed by all
participants, will determine the reimbursement return. Goals of the RRP:
- Promote the sport of bicycle racing by encouraging NEBC
members to enter races, and to volunteer in the promotion of
bicycle-racing events such as races, clinics, training, etc.
- Promote the image, logos and products of NEBC, its
sponsors, and the sport of bicycle racing by wearing the
club jersey in races, and on training rides, and at
bicycle-related events.
- Maintain NEBC as an attractive club for its membership.
RRP Participation Requirements
The following are the requirements for participation in the RRP.
- Complete the RRP enrollment form and return it, in addition to the
normal membership form and dues, along with the enrollment fee.
- Obtain a USA Cycling annual license which states your club is "0035
- Northeast Bicycle Club" and your team is "NEBC/Cycle Loft".
- Races claimed under RRP must have been completed during the current
calendar year.
- Riders must participate in a minimum number of races
(see table below.)
- Riders must be wearing the current official NEBC club jersey in each
race they claim. A jersey from the current sponsorship cycle is required!
- Riders must enter "NEBC/Cycle Loft" on each race entry
form ("Standard Athlete Release") on the club/team line (or
equivalent.) It is YOUR responsibility to make sure the team
name is recorded correctly!
- Riders must perform a minimum number of duties in
service of the club. See the table below for a list of
suggested duties, the points they carry and the required
minimum duty points for your group. Other duties must be
approved by a vote of the Board of Directors ("BOD"). You
must perform one "big" duty which carries a weight of 5 duty
points or more (except for Juniors), plus additional duties
to accumulate the minimum required.
- Races must be sanctioned by the United States Cycling Federation ("USCF"),
the National Off-Road Bicycle Association (NORBA), or the Eastern Fat
Tire Association (EFTA) and may NOT be training races. Sanctioning exceptions
will be made for those racers who do not have sufficient races available
locally for their age group.
- Races must be bicycle races (Track Events, Criteriums,
Time-Trials, Road Races, Mountain Bike races (down hill or
cross country), or Cyclocross.) Triathlons, centuries, fund
raisers, etc. are not included in the RRP.
- A minimum number (see table below) of the races must be
in the North Atlantic District (NH, MA, ME, CT, RI, VT, NY.)
Additional races may be in any district as long as the
minimum requirement is met.
RRP Participant ResponsibilitiesEach racer enrolled
in the RRP must:
- Submit all duties (hours) on the online form, prior to December 31.
- Submit race results for all qualified races via the online race entry form, prior to December 31.
