Our free bi-monthly summer race series is back and better than ever! Come out to Highbridge on Thursday, May 28th at 6:45pm for the NYC Velo Summer Sprint series and race XC or DH in short-format, sprint XC and mini-DH courses. The DH course is a one-minute run down the Hellfighter freeride trail, timed with the awesome Freelap timing system. Thanks to a generous donation from Freelap USA, we have a number of additional timing watches this year, so there are enough for racers to get multiple runs in, in the time allotted. For XC, we mark out a course that's approximately 2.5 miles long, and Cat 3 (Beginners) race one lap while everyone else races two.
The races are free (suggested donation of $3 helps cover our insurance costs, but is not mandatory). You must sign a waiver in order to race, and anyone under 18 must have a parent or guardian sign their waiver.
At this NYC Velo Summer Sprint series kickoff, the Intense Cycles demo truck will be making a guess appearance, so not only can you race for free, but you can demo ride your soon-to-be-favorite bikes for free as well!
