NEW thursday race series!!

THIS JUST IN!!!
from lane anderson:
I met with the city of Altoona monday morning and got tentative approval for a 3-race Thursday night Series in Altoona.

The series will be July 16, Aug 6, and Aug 20. There will be a Men's "A", "B", and Women's race each night. The course is an undulating 1.2 mile circuit with 4 corners and one 180 degree turn.

They are going to close the roads for us this Thursday, June 18, for a trial run. If it goes off without a hitch, they'll approve the series.

I'm hoping to get out as many folks as possible to get a true test and so we can all get a good workout in (which is my ulterior motive for doing this). We will have to have insurance coverage for this Thursday, so I will need to charge an entry. It's not usacycling so there's no "1-day license" required. All participants will pay $10/night.

Please spread the word, get as many people out as possible.
