CU Summer Short Track 2018 Week 1

Alright everyone, its time for the first week of CU Summer Short Track Series for this summer! We are excited to be working with Panache Cyclewear, Skratch Labs, RaceRite, and Conation Collective this year! Our races will be every Wednesday from May 30th through August 15th. We unfortunately had to cancel the first race last week due to rain and mud, but it looks like we will be having a good day to race today! Registration begins at 4:30pm and races begin at 5pm; make sure to arrive early so we can get everyone registered for the first week! Like last year, it is a $20 race entry and $10 for each additional race. All race categories have the same start time as last year (you can see our front page for correct timing). We have attached a course map for today's race below. The race begins at the staging area and runs clockwise around the course. Make sure to visit our Facebook page for more up to date notifications. I hope everyone can make it out today and looking forward to a great season!

Short Track Week 12

Find this week's course map below. This is up on the blog clearly way later than it should be. If you haven't already, check out the CU Short Track Facebook page. In the future this is where most info will be and the blog will eventually be phased out.

Remember that today is the annual costume contest! Prizes will be given out all evening for race winners, best costumes within each race, and probably a number of other things we make up on the spot. If you come wearing a creative costume, pull an impressive stunt, etc. there's a good chance you'll come away with something!

Short Track Week 11

Tomorrow is our penultimate race! The weather looks great, with a slightly reduced chance of rain over the last couple weeks, and we have a fun course designed that should again provide a good balance between speed and handling sections.

Week 10 Course Map

Below you will find this week's course map. Only three more races to go this summer!

Wednesday, August 9 will be the last race of summer 2017, and will feature a costume contest. Wear your best costume (cycling themed or otherwise) and you could win a prize! Judging criteria is TBD but if you wear something fun and creative there's a good chance you will come away with some schwag.

Week 9 Course Map

4 more weeks!

We had a break from the summer weather last week, including a break from the typical dry and dusty loose-over-hard trail surfaces thanks to the short rain shower at the beginning of the evening. This week's weather however looks to be hot and sunny once again.

Week 8 Course Map

Only five more races this summer!

This week we return to the usual start/finish area layout along with a forecasted return to some slightly cooler temperatures. There's a chance of rain on Tuesday as well, so maybe the dust will be knocked back a bit.

Short Track Week 7

The start/finish area setup seemed to work well last week so this week's course features a similar setup.

A reminder that we have added a Women's C category to the races. The C race takes the place of the Women's B race at 5:15, and the B race moves to 6:40pm alongside the Women A racers and Singlespeeds.

On that note, it appears many of our singlespeeders have been deciding to race in the Men's B race the last couple weeks, so if that's your jam be prepared to race with them in that time slot instead.
