The entire CBRC would like to thank all those riders who helped make this year's Capital Region Road Race such a success. (Even those who beat our riders. When was your club race again? Just wondering...)
Also we would like to thank all of our volunteers on the course, in the cars, and working tables for the great work and effort.
Finally, we would like to thank the EMS crews (who unfortunately did not have a completely boring day), the New York State Police and the entire Town of Postenkill, especially the residents of Miller Hill Road, who gratefully did not hold another bargin-filled garage sale on a day that had "perfect-weather-for-it" written all over it.
Thanks and see you all next year!
Important Changes to Categories!!!
We have made changes to the race categories as follows:
Men's cat 5 = Men's cat 5 (no change)
Men's cat 4 = Men's cat 4/5
Cat 5 racers can register in either race, as long as spots are available. Any Cat 5 racer that is already pre-registered for the Cat 5 race may switch to the Cat 4/5 race on race day (if one of the 125 slots is still available), or you may switch by sending the promoter an email with the request by August 13th and the switch will be made to the pre-registration list. However, the Cat 4/5 race is $5 more than the Cat 5 race, and you will have to pay the difference when you pick up your number at registration. Note that the Cat 4/5 race is also 12 miles longer. =)
Registration
Ends 20 minutes before each race. Non USCF license holders welcome. One day licenses are available for $5.00 day of race.
