Week 4 Track

Here's the track for this week! We will be doing something different by starting in the opposite direction with the staging area on the bridge. We will go through the glades and out on the fire road to Hot Lap. We will go all the way across the map to the entrance to Dirt 101, and then curve up halfway on the bridge to meet up with Gear Down. We will then descend on Espresso and take the paved road back to the glades and the start/ finish line! The Kid's race will be two laps by starting on the regular course and meeting up with Dirt 101. Kids will be going in the opposite direction as the regular racers and then meeting with the paved road to get back to the normal course.

We ask that NO RACERS PRE-RIDE DIRT 101 DURING THE KIDS RACE to make sure there are no head on accidents. We also ask that while races are in session to cross the track VERY CAREFULLY while going to line up in the staging area and make sure no racers are coming. We will have a designated crossing section near the start finish for racers to reach the staging area. We don't want any collisions tomorrow!

Silent Auction This Week Thanks To Our Sponsors!

Hey all, I just wanted to take a moment to thank our great sponsors Panache Cyclewear, RaceRite, Conation Collective, and Skratch Labs that are coming out every week to help make this series possible! They are all doing an amazing job supporting us with prizes, electronic timing, number plates and almost everything else we need. Make sure to go check out the sponsor tents at the races and online and give them some love for us!

We also wanted to announce we will be doing a silent auction this week thanks to Skratch Labs. In this auction we will be featuring three signed copies of Biju Thomas & Allen Lim's "The Feed Zone" cookbooks! Want some different ideas to meet your macros each week? These books feature a host of cycling and athlete friendly recipes great for packing on rides, sitting down for midweek dinners, or even planning big events. Each one is signed personally by Allen Lim and has a personal message on the front cover.

We will be having the auction sheets out by registration tomorrow and starting bids for each book will be $15. We will be announcing the winners after the end of the Men's B race at about 6:30pm. All proceeds go to help support CU Cycling and the series, so make sure to participate and help out! This is a great opportunity to support our sponsors and the series but also get some great swag too! We will see everyone out there tomorrow!

Week #3 Race Course

Alright Everyone, here's the course for this week!

We are starting off in the same area as we did the last few weeks going clockwise this time. We will start by turning on Dirt 101 then onto Grasshopper to take us to the other side of the creek. We will then climb up Gear Down to a quick descent down Rivet. At the bottom of the descent, turn left to merge onto Stoke and climb to the top where we will be going down corkscrew again. Follow the fire road to hook back with the start.

Should be another fast course but with a technical climb this time! We will see you all out tomorrow.

CU Summer Short Track Race #2

Here is the course map for tomorrow! Should be starting similar to how we did last week, but running counter-clockwise this time.

The course features a long jaunt through the Glades before climbing up Rivot to the Upper Sand Pit, then down Espresso over the bridge to connect with Dirt 101. It will take the fire road back around the lake to connect with the Glades again.

Kids race goes over the same bridge we started on last week directly over to Dirt 101. It will then follow the same course as the other categories.

Weather should be good for tomorrow, but we will let you know of any changes come race day. See you tomorrow afternoon!
