2014-2015 FBRA / FRS-CX Season
The Florida Bicycle Racing Association, as the recognized local association of USA Cycling in Florida, is proud to announce the 2014/15 Florida Ranking System for Cyclocross. The FRS-CX will allow racers to rank themselves against other riders in the state within each category, and team rankings may assist during sponsorship acquisition. This is not a prized or money based series. Similar to USAC’s national rankings, this lets you see where you rank after all your hard work. The rankings system will be administered using a newly formed competition ranking module developed by USA Cycling in cooperation with the FBRA for use by all local associations.
