The new ACA "rule" about entr...Hi Chris,<br /><br />The new ACA "rule" about entry into the "A race" for those 18 and under is age discrimination. It is illegal. The city has strong anti-discrimination laws as well.<br /><br />A qualified athlete using legal equipment can't be denied entry into the races. <br /><br />Case in point:<br />+ A pro cyclist comes to town and he is held on the sidelines despite being a Cat 1, 2 or 3 rider = discrimination. Meanwhile, a guy 30 years old can get into the A race.<br /><br />The ACA Board can make the policy suggestion a STRONG RECOMMENDATION but not a rule.<br /><br />Finally, I would like to know what evidence exists, if any, to support the new policy?Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.com
