GJ Criterium Series set for road racers - Grand Junction Free Press

Grand Junction, CO, March 8, 2010

The newly established criterium series is set to begin March 31 with five additional races to follow on April 7, 14, 21, 28 and May 5.

This USA Cycling-sanctioned road race begins with Group B at 5:30 p.m. each race day at the Rocky Mountain Orthopaedic Associates building, 25 1⁄2 Road and Fracture Lane.

Criterium participants may sign up at www.livetrainrace.com or just before the race at the Rocky Mountain Orthopaedic Associates building. However, fields are limited to 100 riders, so registering early is suggested. There are two group races. Group B – Category 4 and 5, plus Master's Racers – starts each race. Group A – Category 1-3 riders – follows.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for Road Racers from across the Grand Valley, the Western Slope and even those in Utah to participate in a high-level race,” RMOA sports medicine physician and road racer Dr. Richard Price said. “We can't wait to get this event going and hopefully watch it grow into something even bigger.”
