Friday I signed up for my USA Cycling MTB license for 2012. After signing up I had to contact them regarding my category, because I was hoping to be categorized as a Category 1 mountain biker racer (one level below pro) for cross-country racing. So I submitted my race results from last year to USA Cycling for evaluation. Later in the day I received three e-mails back from someone with USA cycling, the subject lines all looked the same so I thought it was the same e-mail sent three times. I openned up one and it was a denial for a Cat 1 downhill license, which I thought was really odd, because I didn't care about my downhill license at all since I don't have any plans to do any downhill races. For a minute I was very confused, had they thought I was looking for a Cat 1 downhill license, or what was the deal? I was pretty sure my results justified being moved up. Fortunately before I got too confused I openned the second e-mail, and this one said that they had approved my upgrade to Cat 1 cross-country. . .AWESOME. . .but what was the third e-mail? It was a denial for an observed trials, and I'm confused again. I looked over my e-mail and relized that I hadn't specified in my e-mail what lincense I was trying to upgrade so they must have thought I was looking to upgrade all three. But in the end I got upgraded like I was hoping to and I got a laugh thinking that they thought Iwas wanted to upgrade my trials and downhill license (I've never done either event)
