Page 3 of 3 Manitoba Cycling Association 2013 Board Kids of Mud Annual Report Annual General Meeting November 9, 2013 Submitted By: Karin McSherry Accomplishments • 313 registered KOM program participants – a small increase (~6%) from 2012. 8 clubs are now administering the KOM program, an increase of 1 club (MEC) since last year: o Alter Ego Cycling Club (Winnipeg) o Bikes & Beyond (Winnipeg) o Mountain Equipment Coop (Winnipeg) o Body Driven Sports (Steinbach) o Junk Yard Dogs (Portage) o Whiteshell Cycling Club (Pinawa) o Wolseley Wheels (Winnipeg) o Olympia St. Mary’s Road (Winnipeg) • All clubs report that 2013 was a successful year overall. • Collaboration with MTB Cup race organizers allowed all KOM participants to compete, free of charge, in 3 of 4 (MTB) Cup races. On average 124 U7 thru U17 racers attend these races. • Our KOM program continues to be a unique grassroots/developmental program for youth cyclists in Canada. Challenges • Collaboration with MB Cup race organizers allowing KOM racers to race for free has been working somewhat well for the past 3 years; however, the KOM Committee feels this is not a sustainable model and recommends that KOM and all U17 riders be charged an affordable (i.e. less than adult) race fee for MB Cup races in future. • Allowing the option for participants to purchase a MCA general membership instead of a race license the past couple of seasons has had no positive impact on the program yet has negatively affected the financial position of the MCA, therefore, in 2014 this will no longer be an option. Goals for Next Year • Improve communication/clarify information regarding the KOM program on both kidsofmud.ca & mbcycling.ca especially in regards to the Manitoba Cup Race Series (MTB). • Update the KOM Programmer’s Guidebook and Parent’s Handbook.
