Membership Eligibility:
Membership is open to all athletes meeting the criteria below.
A) All athletes must have a current and valid UCI, USCF, USA Triathlon and/or NORBA racing license for the current racing season.
B) Athletes will be allowed to join Delta Velo during the season only as space permits.
Membership EXPECTATIONS:
A) Practice good sportsmanship and conduct myself in a professional manner at all cycling and non-cycling events where I am representing Delta Velo. Use of foul language, unsafe riding, racing selfishly such as chasing down team members and other obvious forms of poor sportsmanship my result in suspension or expulsion.
B) Be prepared to the best of my ability to race competitively. Delta Velo members are expected to complete at least six races during the current year (exceptions will be made for injury or hardship). It is assumed that the athlete's level of commitment is serious and training preparation adequate for a full season of racing. Which is considered to extend from March through September (although early-season races begin in January).
C) Delta Velo athletes who race will be required to write race reports and results to the Delta Velo email list, ncncaracing.com and deltavelo.com immediately following the event.
D) Wear my sponsors' and team's clothing proudly, properly maintaining my equipment, clothing, and personal hygiene. Athletes are expected to wear the current, complete team uniform (including jersey and shorts) whenever possible in training, and without exception in all races. As valuable advertising "vehicles" for their sponsors, Delta Velo athletes are expected to appear with clean bicycles and clothing at races they attend throughout the year. Torn or dirty jerseys and shorts, and unclean and improperly maintained bicycles are unacceptable. Athletes who are to be interviewed and/or photographed by the media are requested to look as clean and presentable as possible, and mention their sponsors' support during all interviews.
E) Attend regularly scheduled Delta Velo meetings, staying involved with what is going on with the team. This promotes communication and helps promote team unity.
F) Each Delta Velo member must serve in a team support capacity for teammates racing in other categories. This may include feeding duties, surveying the neutral pit zone to ensure team wheels are secure and visible and not forgotten, video taping the event, and other general support responsibilities.
Membership REQUIREMENTS:
A) All Delta Velo members must contribute their time at the 2 annual events organized by Delta Velo in order to receive Delta Velo membership benefits. NO EXCEPTIONS.

B) Delta Velo athletes who race will be required to submit results to the deltavelo.com webmaster in order to receive Delta Velo membership benefits.
E) Use and recommend to my family, friends, and the media the products and services of my sponsors. As stated in our agreement with our sponsors, "Delta Velo athletes are also highly aware of their promotional obligations to their sponsors, whose financial and moral support has facilitated the team members' successes. Delta Velo athletes frequent their sponsors' establishments, use their products and services, and recommend them to their friends and colleagues. Delta Velo athletes are devoted to promoting the best possible image for their team and its sponsors."
D) Obey all traffic regulations as enforced by the California Highway Patrol, City Police, and all relevant Local Authorities while on individual or group training rides or as instructed during sanctioned races.
Delta Velo athletes must be conscious of their role as ambassadors to the non-cycling and recreational Cycling communities. Failure to abide by traffic laws, if observed by the public, can be extremely
detrimental to the team's sponsors and other cyclists and may result in the revocation of all sponsorship benefits for the entire team.

Equipment must be maintained in excellent condition and must be returned on demand if an athlete should fail to uphold the standards of the Delta Velo race team as outlined above.

Funds Disbursement:
Delta Velo is a small amateur bicycle racing team. In the event that we receive cash sponsorship, this money will first be used to pay operating costs of the team including: permit fees, USA Cycling fees, NCNCA fees, uniform productions, event and team promotions, and team newsletter. In the event we do have a budget surplus, riders may request individual funds for specific championship events (nationals). The time window for such requests will be before the race season starts (this allows everyone equal opportunity to the funds at one time). The criteria for being given these funds include how long an athlete has been with the team, how the athlete has helped with the team organization, and racing ability. No funds will be made available during the season. If an athlete fails to meet these criteria, the athlete still may have the opportunity at the end of the year to be reimbursed for that race through the normal distribution of funds:
