What: Birmingham-based cycling team GS Montagna Rossa (GSMR) is organizing a series of training races this winter to provide an opportunity to learn and practice road racing strategy and skills.
When: 1:15 p.m. on Sunday, Feb 17, Feb 24, and March 2
Where: Held at beautiful Camp Sumatunga near Gallant, AL, 50 miles northeast of Birmingham
Race Distance: The women-only race is 20 miles, 2 laps of a beautiful, rolling 10-mile loop. There are also Category A (50 miles), B (40 miles), and C (30 miles) races, and experienced women are of course welcome to race in these categories. The juniors’ race is 20 miles.
Why: The series has added a special women’s category that’s beginner-friendly and great for anyone wanting to give road racing a try.
Bonus: GSMR is generously donating a portion of the proceeds to MC3, to help fund our clinics and educational events for women.
