Ann Arbor Velo Club Spring Training Series 2023 4/16

All attendees must register online. NO DAY-OF REGISTRATION!!

For 2023, the Ann Arbor Velo Club is hosting a four-week new rider clinic and practice race. This is designed to provide new riders and racers with a fun and structured introduction to group riding and bike racing so they can learn and practice the core skills and information for safer and better group riding racing. New riders will learn from licensed coaches and experienced racers, and they will earn 2 upgrade points for participating in the clinic and race.

Women new to riding and racing are encouraged to participate! Also new to the races this year, series awards will be presented to the top three racers in the Womens, A, and B fields at the end of the series based on finishing position in individual races. More details are at www.SpringTrainingSeries.com.
