Yes. Might take a while to get the card that way though, if that's important to you. You can doit online at USA Cycling and you get a printable confirmation that is as good as the license at events.

PS the pdf wont work (even poster)

Eric may have to answer that one. You should be able to online it. Just put in your current NORBA lic. no. if you have one.

and year long norbas on site? i know this has been asked many times, but i think this thread will be read a lot, and have that same question.

This was answered in the earlier 'unofficial' thread. Eric's advice is, if you want a year-long license DON'T buy it on-site. USA Cycling is bad for not processing the ones sent in from an event. Do it online.

PS the pdf wont work (even poster)

Fill-in form is NOT working? No form fields to put a text cursor in? Radio buttons not functioning? Hard for me to see these - - I have Acrobat Pro home and at work, so I can't see how it's behaving in Reader. Someone else please confirm and I'll fix it if I need to.

Poster is doo-doo for the moment; keeps corrupting in the upload. I may have to do some web-space housekeeping or host it somewhere else. Sorry

 

[MinorThreat]

Poster PDF is working and downloadable now. My housekeeping worked!

P.S. - - Can a kind mod make this a sticky until the event date, . . . pleeeeeeeaaaase?

 

[MinorThreat]

In lieu of this being a sticky, I'm bumping it up.

 

[downhillracer]

i will be registering any day now. but i guess now i gotta race 19-29 ex so i can get results for my norba upgrade.

[MinorThreat]

Thanks Kyle. Any idea which Boise shop(s) are the the most gravity-oriented?

Also, anyone else - - any Peninsula shops or SW (Centralia, Chehalis, Woodland, Vancouver, etc.) that should be on my list?

 

[Gex]

Might wanna throw some to the greggs cycle shops. They will post them and they get lots of rider traffic.

Too late for you, but everyone who has not registered, don't forget it's a little cheaper (not much but a little) to register online. Thanks for doing us that favor. AND, remember that if you pre-register, you get in on the killer BBQ that Tim Arnold, THE Bicycle Butler, will be hooking up at the end of practice on Sat. No late fees for signing up late....but no BBQ for you! And we're going to make the BBQ extra smoky, so the aroma will have you drooling on your jersey while you're wishing you had signed up early!

 

[riverside73]

BUMP! One week from tomorrow......it's ON! And we need to have your registration by Monday if you want in on the BBQ. To everyone already signed up, Thank you very much. Now get out there and tell your friends!

 

[thom9719]
