Late Summer Seward Session

by Leave a Comment

Under hazy skies, the 2018 Voler Seward Park Thursday Night Cycling Series is in its waning days.

The 5:30 race is a great place for juniors to test their legs against grownups.

There are four events every evening:

5:00 Course Open for Warm-Up, coaches clinics
5:30 First-timers & Cat 4, 5
6:00 Cat 3, 4
7:00 Pro & Cat 1, 2, 3

If you are new to racing, the clinics are a great introduction to bike handling skills and the Seward course.
