Local Bikes, Bonding, Bonfire Weekend with Specialized Bicycles

UPDATE 8/7: This event will be rescheduled due to the weather. New date will be posted soon.

Specialized Bicycles, in partnership with Minnesota Off Road Cyclists (MORC), is sponsoring a woman's demo weekend event at Murphy Hanrehan Park next weekend: August 7th and 8th.

Come on out to the mountain bike trails located in Savage, MN to demo a nice fleet of rides and meet fellow dirt sisters.

Janet Frank Atkinson is teaching a clinic about core training and the importance it plays in cycling at 6:00 on Friday evening. Despite what the link states, Janet is a personal trainer, not a personal trailer. The folks at Specialized must have had single track on their minds when they created the copy...

Beer sampling (preregistration required) and bike maintenance clinics round out the weekend. Camping is also available.

WORS Firecracker Race Recap

Lots of Minnesota women headed over to Wisconsin to race in the WORS Firecracker.

Kyia provides her race recap:

I felt great off the line, a rider from Ontario took the lead and then around the next turn I went to the front. I didn't think it was an attack, just going to the front. I did a few turns on the pedals and looked back to see at least 10 bike lengths to the group! Hmmm, not what I was expecting. What is someone to do when they have the lead, GOOOOOOOO!! So I did....
