CBRC will be organizing a weekly training race on a 5-mile rolling loop in Feura Bush beginning Tuesday, April 3rd. In general, road races emphasize endurance and climbing. In 2001, all racers must pre-register. In the Lake Placid area, the 2001 Cloudsplitter Race has now been moved up to Memorial Day Weekend. In August, the Canal Cup Classic in Little Falls is open to non-licensed racers on a hilly course.
Every sport has rules and regulations, as well as a governing body, and cycling is no exception.
The USCF has 5 categories of racers, ranging from 5 to 1, with 5 representing entry-level riders and 1 the top amateur ranking. To participate in a USCF race, you must have a racing license. One-day licenses may be purchased on race day for novices. Visit the USCF website for more details. In addition, a list of upcoming bicycle races can be found in the Calendar of Events .
