Race Paybacks

Current for 2024

What is a race payback?

While racing is not required of BD team members, it is incredibly fun, and we encourage anyone who’s even a little interested to give it a shot! One of the perks of the team is that we provide partial reimbursements for race entry fees and race-weekend lodging for any race you do wearing the BD jersey.

how much can i earn back?

  1. Each member can earn up to $250 in race paybacks per year

  2. Paybacks for race entry fees fall into these categories:

    • Receive $25 back for entry to 'small’ races (most WCA road, CX, and WORS)

    • Receive $30 back for entry to ‘large’ races (ToAD, Nationals, US tours)

    • Receive $10 for your second race of the day for any event

  3. Overnight hotel or camping expenses:

    • Receive $30 per night the night before races >2.5h away from Madison

Juniors will receive paybacks as noted above, unless their year-end sum is greater than total race entry. In this case, only the total amount of race entries will be reimbursed.

anything else?

Just two things to be eligible:

  • You must be in good standing per the BD bylaws (volunteer at 50% of team events per year + the Swap)

  • We ask that you wear a BD team kit for races to be eligible for a payback (exceptions made if you don’t have one yet)

How do paybacks get paid out?

  1. Patrick Cunniffe, team Treasurer, will send an email to the team near the end of the calendar year.

  2. You will submit information to a shared spreadsheet detailing the races you traveled to & competed in that year.

    • Please keep track of your racing to make this part easier! Include race name, date, location, category, and entry fee(s).

  3. The leadership board will review the data and tally up how much you’ve earned back. Paybacks will arrive to you in the form of a check mid-January.
