If you don't see local coverage in Cycle News of events in your area,
you can help by becoming a Cycle News contributor.
You write the story (and shoot photos) at your local club and track events,
and submit the story to us for publication. We'll even pay you for what we print.
All you have to do is call the Cycle News headquarters at 714·751·7433 (weekdays
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. p.s. T.; Tuesday thru Friday) and ask for a "contributor kit".
We'll send you all the details about how to write local stories for Cycle News.
REMEMBER...
We can't run it if we don't get it!
