March 2012 R.A.C.E. Events.....................
Hi Everyone! Well, the 2012 cycling season is getting into full-swing....and with it, the R.A.C.E. calendar is taking shape for this year! Below is the tentative R.A.C.E. schedule for March 2012. New this year, we will be using the new R.A.C.E. website almost exclusively for the calendar of events, and calculating points & overall standings in each of the races and Series - www.RaceChico.com. I would like to give a HUGE Thank You to Chris Iufer from Duarte Design for building the R.A.C.E. website - without Chris and all of his tremendous work this past year, this website never would have happened. Thank you, Chris!
As usual, photos & videos of the events will still be available on the new website, and also on Flickr, Facebook and YouTube.....and updates will be sent out via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and Google+...as well as on the website. For those new to R.A.C.E. - Rodney's Amateur Cycling Events are FREE grassroots bicycle racing events that take place in and around Butte County, California year-round. We put on up to 250+ racing events per year - road races, criteriums, uphill time trials, flat time trials, downhill time trials, mountain bike races, cyclocross races, alley cat races, short-track races and any other type of race we can think of. They're free, low-key, lots of fun - and a GREAT way to get into(and stay in) shape!! Just come on out whenever you can and join the fun!! Riders range in age from 3 up to 88 - and we have all levels of riders out there....from folks just learning to ride to professional racing cyclists. Just have fun with it!
Each week, I will send out a more detailed notification/e-mail on each of the races below. In addition, you can find out more information on these races by visiting our website at www.RaceChico.com or www.ChicoBike.com .....or by e-mailing me(Rodney Cox) at ChicoCyclist@gmail.com :
