Race Reimbursement and Volunteer Recognition Programs

General Description

NEBC has two programs to encourage member involvement and recognize the contributions of its racing and non-racing members.

The Race Reimbursement Program ("RRP") reimburses race entry fees for NEBC Members who race in USCF-, NORBA- and EFTA-sanctioned races. The Volunteer Recognition Program (VRP) was created to encourage the involvement of members who choose not to be part of RRP. In recognition of the large amount time and energy these members give to NEBC, they are given gift certificates to the Cycle Loft (aka “Cycle Loft Bucks). In addition, RRP participants who have met their RRP requirements (see below) are then put into the VRP and rewarded with Cycle Loft Bucks for their additional service to NEBC.

The goals of RRP/VRP are:

• Promote the sport of bicycle racing by
• encouraging NEBC members to enter races and/or
• 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

• Complete the RRP enrollment form and return it, along with the $10 enrollment fee.
• Obtain a USA Cycling annual license which states your club is "0035 - Northeast Bicycle Club" and your team is "NEBC/Cycle Loft".
• Only races raced during the 2004 calendar year, January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004 may be claimed.
• Racers must participate in at least 8 races for NEBC.
• 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!
• Racers must volunteer for a minimum of 10 “points” in service of the club. See the table below for a list of suggested duties and the points they carry. 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, plus additional duties to accumulate the minimum required. Once members have 10 points, any additional points will count towards VRP. Juniors need a minimum of 5 points to receive RRP.
• 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.
• Eight of the races must be in the North Atlantic District (NH, MA, ME, CT, RI, VT, NY.) Additional races may be in any district.

VRP Participation Requirements

• You must be an NEBC member.
• Volunteer activites claimed under VRP must have been completed during the current calendar year.
• Volunteer activities must be sanctioned by the Board of Directors. Activites not listed in the table below will be subject to approval by the VRP coordinator and the BOD.
• All volunteer time must be submitted on the online form, prior to December 19.
