2016 US amateur championships moved from Lake Tahoe
New civic policies, the ability to attract necessary volunteers and cost all played a part in a mutual decision not to host the 2016 US Amateur Road National Championships in North Lake Tahoe in 2016, according to a statement USA Cycling released on Thursday.
The 2016 Championships would have been the second in a two-year contract with USA Cycling, which says it will release the new 2016 national championship location and schedule on Friday.

USA Cycling National Events Manager Tara McCarthy said she appreciated the work North Lake Tahoe and the community put into the event and she was disappointed they would not be the 2016 venue.
"Unexpected high cost for various aspects of the five-day event, including police costs, factor into the choice to not host the event in North Lake Tahoe," USA Cycling said in its release on Thursday.
"That high price tag paired with new local road closure restrictions in high-season caused USA Cycling and North Lake Tahoe to mutually agree to relocate the event."
