The Season!
We've organized a series just for Category 4 racers! Category 4 is the level at which every woman racer starts. These races are held separately from the races for elite amateurs in Categories 1/2/3. You'll race ONLY with other Category 4 women. These will be low-key races with plenty of socializing before and after the race.

Cycling Made Real is a nationally recognized program new to the Metro area this year, with proven success in many other regions throughout the country. The momentum and support from local women’s cycling clubs and racing teams has never been greater than now, which is a great reason to make 2006 the year you check out racing!
