FORT COLLINS, CO - June 10, 2009 - "City Streets Crit gets the Green Light!

 

Starting Tuesday June 16th, cycling enthusiasts of all ages and abilities will have the opportunity to race their bikes on the tarmac of the City Streets department just north of New Belgium Brewery at 625 Ninth Street. The 1km closed course offers plenty of room for riders to open it up. It also boasts an alley between two brick buildings, adding an Old Town feel to the venue.

 

The race series is being made possible by the cooperative efforts of The Cycologist bike shop, The Fort Collins Velodrome Association (FCVA), FC Bikes (City of Fort Collins), Blacksheep Junior Cycling, and Ciclismo Racing, an elite amateur cycling team based in Fort Collins.

 

Dave "DK" Kemp, Bicycle Coordinator for the City of Fort Collins, expressed his delight with the joint effort. One of the recommendations from the 2008 Bike Plan specifies the support and promotion of competitive bicycle sporting events in Fort Collins."

 

Tim Anderson, with the Fort Collins Velodrome Association, identified the site. Anderson has a passion for cycling and an eye for cycling venues. Last year Anderson organized the CSU Oval races (which begin again Sunday July 12) in an effort to bring community-based racing to downtown Fort Collins. "The FCVA exists to promote, develop and facilitate 'bicycling as sport' in Fort Collins", Anderson said.

 

Andy Clark, Director of Sport for Ciclismo Racing, and Ryan Scalva of The Cycologist bike shop both echoed Anderson's passion for the new race series. "The amount of enthusiasm we have seen from our community for this event just goes to show how much cycling really is a way of life in Fort Collins," Clark said, while Scalva noted, "I feel we are bringing people in the community closer to the sport and closer together."

 

The race promoters are encouraging everyone to ride to the race and spectators are welcome. Kids races are free and adult races are $10. Racing starts June 16 at 6pm. For more information go to www.yourgroupride.com
