Thinking about becoming a cycling official or motoref?
for The Mid-Atlantic Bicycle Racing Association (MABRA)
Embedded Files
Bicycle racing needs officials. This site aims to help you triage your interest in being a USA Cycling official and, if it all clicks, to get started here in the mid-Atlantic. MABRA could use more officials in general. In particular, MABRA needs more good local motorefs. Look around, think it over. If you want to talk first or at any time along the way, email your questions or to set up a call.
We've got some FAQs for you, Contacts and Links on the Resources page, and other stuff here. If you get started via the USA Cycling links, let us know so we have you on our radar and can keep you in the loop for local developments.

Terminology note. New folks no longer start out as category C officials; that's so 2025. Now they're commissaires. It's like official, but swankier. USA Cycling is changing its terms now to better align with UCI usage. You'll see both terms in use now -- official & commissaire -- as things transition and they generally mean the same thing going forward. In old U.S. stuff commissaire implied a higher level of experience, but don't worry about those nuances right now.
