Week 13--Costume Race!

Below you will find this week's final course, featuring The Corkscrew and the new section of trail next to it! Be sure to wear your best costume, as there will be extra prizes for the best men and women in costume. We may also add in a trick contest, so bring your A-game!

This race does count towards series points so bring your best race legs in addition to your costume. We do have some corrections to make to several results, so series results will be official by a week from Wednesday. We will announce the winners of the A men and women contests, and there will be a cash prize three deep. Winners will receive the details about how to claim their prize.

Week 12 Results

Results for Wednesday's races can be found here. Look here in the next few days for details about our final race on August 10, featuring the annual costume contest.

I also still have a few lost items, including the front wheel I've mentioned a couple of times. I'm not sure what I will do with it if nobody claims it, but most likely it will get donated to Community Cycles.

Week 12 Course

It's the penultimate evening of CU Short Track 2016! After a couple weeks of (mostly) flat courses, we will once again be going uphill.

Next week will be the big finale, featuring a costume contest and also a finish-line contest, so bring your A-game on August 10!

Finally, I'd like to remind everyone that we have a Garmin, a couple pairs of sunglasses, and a front wheel that have been left behind over the past few weeks. Please claim these by the end of the night on August 10.

Week 11 Results

Results are up! Something weird happened during the Women's A race and I am not very confident in those particular results, so if they are not correct, let me know and I can get it fixed. Other than that everything is good!

Also, somebody left a wheel behind last night. If you think it might be yours, please send an email describing it and we can get it returned. We still have a couple pairs of sunglasses and a cycling computer from the past few weeks as well.

It's official: we are going to add one more race to the series on August 10! So not next week but the week after plan on wearing your best costume (theme TBD) and work on your tricks--the best costume and best trick across the finish line will earn a prize.

Week 11 Course Map

Below you will find the course map for this week.

Week 10 Results

Results are up! Thanks to all who came out despite the threat of storms, I think that we might have had our most well-attended kid's race of the season! The clouds kept it cool, and rain from the last couple of days kept the dirt tacky for an evening of fast and fun races.

Two more to go with a bonus race on August 10 still in the planning stages.

Week 10

Below you will find this week's course map. After several weeks of long courses, this one will be a little shorter, sticking to the southern portion of the park.

Officially two races left after this week, but we are thinking of adding one more on August 10. More details as it develops.

I've seen and heard about a couple heated moments in the past few weeks (before, during, and after races) and would like to remind everyone that CU Short Track is a fun, independent, Wednesday night summer race series. As the Summer 2016 series comes to a close, please remember this. For many, this is a good opportunity to get their feet wet and try bike racing for the first time--not everybody knows all the rules and etiquette. If you feel somebody has made a mistake, let them know and help them improve so that they want to come back and try again. Bike racing is fun!
