I am one of the double dippers - race USAT and USAC - CX and MTB - I think this is a real win win for both NGBs. Bravo.
This is me as well, but I haven't held an annual USAT license in years. There's no way I do enough sanctioned triathlons in a year for the annual to make sense when there's zero USAT benefit outside of race day. I already hopped over and did the 'dual' license since I hadn't done my annual USAC yet and will be signing up for two USAT races this year.
One thing not mentioned so far is that there are some impressive discounts available to USA Cycling members. 5% off of Gatorade for USAT members.....yawn. 25-40% off of 100+ brands for USA Cycling......wow. The 40% discount on a Yakima Dr. Tray and 3 pairs of running shoes last year would pay for 5-6 years of USA Cycling licenses.
