All forms and payment can be submitted via the web site. Notify Roger Lomshek after you have submitted your permit application so he can review and approve it.
If you would like to apply for an event permit the old fashioned way, the paper forms can be downloaded at The USA Cycling web site from the forms page. Mail the completed event Permit Application, USCF Competitive Event Permit Checklist , Additional Insured Application, and a copy of the race announcement to Roger Lomshek, Tailwind Cyclists, 1511 N. Broadway, Pittsburg, Kansas 66762.
Permits should be submitted to the Permit Coordinator at least 45 days before the event.
Securing Officials for Races
As soon as possible after scheduling their race(s), Race Promoters must contact the Kansas Cycling Association’s Official’s Coordinator (the “OC”), to schedule the Chief Referee and other officials for their race(s). The KCA OC is Amy Urbauer Whittaker (doajig4u@yahoo.com; 785-691-5732). A list of area licensed officials is on the Officials Page.
The Race Promoter must designate to the OC the officials he wishes to work his race and in what capacities. Licensed officials must designate to the OC the races at which they wish to work, and in what capacity. The OC will coordinate this information to schedule the officials to work each race. In nearly all instances, the Race Promoter may designate to the OC which officials he wishes to serve at his race(s). In limited situations, the KCA Board of Directors may assign the officials to work a race if certain officials need specific race experience in order to upgrade or other scheduling conflicts exist. Every effort will be made between the Race Promoter, the OC, the officials and the KCA to adequately staff all races at least one month in advance of the race date.
The calendar of KCA races posted in the official’s section of this website indicates the officials assigned to races and existing opportunities for officials. Promoters and officials are encouraged to refer to this calendar and contact the OC to fill the open positions. The officials assignments posted will be updated as new information becomes available.
