2009 Empire State Games a go!?
March 6th, 2009 6:55pm
WNY Regional Director Lou Reuter is saying that New York State has reversed its decision on funding for the Empire State Games. This is exciting news, but presents a few issues. In the past,regional trials dates have been reserved so as not to have competition from other USA Cycling permitted races. With the news of cancellation, some of these dates have been grabbed in certain regions for other USA Cycling events, including here in WNY. Another issue is that Hudson Valley, the scheduled host of the 2009 games, has cancelled the contracts with vendors and facilities leaving a void as to where the games will be held. The NYS Games Director feels optimistic that this hurdle will be overcome in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more information about the 2009 ESG and Western Region Trials.
