2005 FIAC National Championships

The Federation of Independent Associations for Cycling (FIAC) invites
race organizers to host one or more of ten National Championships in
2005. Proposals will be considered for elite men's and women's
championships in the following events: Stage Race, Hill Climb, Six-Day
Track, Criterium, and Team Time Trial. Only established race organizers
with a record of quality events will be considered.

These championships will be run under FIAC Racing Rules and only riders
who hold an annual license from a FIAC member association will be
eligible for championship placings, though others may be allowed to
participate. FIAC will provide medals for the top three places and
championship jerseys for the winners. To apply, fill out an application
and submit it by Feb. 15, 2005 -- see http://www.fiac.us/natzapp.htm.

FIAC supports racing programs that are independent of USA Cycling -- see
