    From the Wisconsin League Staff……

    As some of you may have been aware, the WI League staff were working on a Time-Trial alternative to our typical race season.

    After much deliberation, the decision has been made to cancel the proposed Wisconsin League Time Trial Program.

    Below we’ve listed the (4) main reasons for deciding to cancel….

    1. Safety – We reached the conclusion that the proposed program had too many limitations with participation encouraging a significantly greater chance of the spread of Covid.
    2. Safety concerns from Team Directors in bringing multiple teams together.
    3. NICA National has recommended we promote team activities instead of league wide activities which bring multiple teams and pods together participating in the same event.
    4. Sign up challenges. We were unable to overcome some of the limitations of Pit Zone sign up utilizing the POD format. We felt like keeping the kids in the same “pods” they were practicing, was the only way to execute the event safely.
    5. From the student-athletes that we surveyed, most had mentioned that without all of the “race weekend activities and energy and with no spectators”, the FUN factor would be eliminated.

    In summary, the Wisconsin League Staff has decided that it would be too difficult to follow the current national, state, regional, and county Covid guidelines while attempting to execute safe, fun, league TT events.

    “Do the best you can, until you know better, then when you know better, do better.” – Maya Angelou

    Moving forward…….
    Adventure is not cancelled!
    Fun is not cancelled!

    Coaches and Team Directors,
    Please watch your emails for information on Zoom Calls explaining strategies to incorporate adventure/team timed loops into your practices.

    Thanks for your understanding and keep riding your bikes!
    The Wisconsin League Staff
