What an amazing, sunny day we shared!
10 team and event shade tents, 1 food truck, 216 pints of beer, 5 bottles of bourbon, 15 volunteers, 1 free massage therapy booth, and lots of happy faces!Our turnout was an awesome 153 entries from 115 unique riders representing 9 different states.
A number we’re massively proud of is that we gave away 27 USA Cycling one-day licenses— this means over 20% of our racers did their first bike race ever or returned after several years of not racing. What an amazing show that bike racing can grow with the right support.
Thank you so much for a great day of celebrating bikes.

Our goal was to spread the word about Falls City Community Bikeworks and raise a little bit of cash to fund their operations.
With help from Four Roses Bourbon and Falls City Beer we were able to fundraise $418 dollars for the non-profit!
Our raffle winners were Tom Burridge, and Greg Garcia, while Zachary Lewis of Cincinnati won the grand prize.
An amazing showing of what our cycling community can do when we come together for a singular purpose. Thank you to all who donated! -

A classic road loop around Long Run Park in Louisville, Ky that features rolling terrain, vistas of Long Run Lake, and an uphill dash to the finish line.
As you gather your fitness for the summer, the sweeping circuit enables a safe road-racing experience paired with the attainable duration and intensity of a criterium.
Race day schedule.
This race is always beginner friendly, and we encourage first-timers to come out and race. The elite races are fast and exciting, with our winners having come from solo breakaways, reduced sprints, and even full-peloton gallops.
Due to limited parking availability, carpooling or riding to the park is encouraged.
Onsite registration will close 30 minutes before each race.
Come race with us!
Bring your family, lawn chairs, and an appetite as this year we’ll have gourmet sandwiches and brunch served by Poppe’s Cafe from 11 am to 5 pm.
Double up on your races for only $20 dollars extra online or onsite to get an early-season fitness boost.
We sponsor beginners! We cover all extra onsite and USA Cycling fees. Pay only for your entry and we’ll take care of the one-day license and late fee, saving you a few bucks as we welcome you into the racing community.
Falls City Bikeworks
This year Equifax - Clarksville Schwinn has committed to help fundraise for and volunteer at Falls City Community Bikeworks, Louisville’s non-profit, volunteer-operated bike shop.
This organization relies on volunteers to repair and donate bicycles for low income Louisvillians, often providing them with their only form of reliable transportation. When the devastating tornado hit eastern Kentucky earlier this year, FCCB sent a box truck full of refurbished bikes to tornado victims.
We will be raffling a gift basket from Four Roses Bourbon, and other assorted Bourbon bottles to fundraise for FCCB. Please join us to support their mission.

Criteriums are scheduled as timed events due to several skill categories occurring on the same short course throughout the day.
Distance and lap count is determined based on the length of each lap and peloton average speed during the early minutes of the race. Officials will extrapolate those stats into a lap count, and will ring the Prime and Final Lap bell based on that calculation.Because this number varies on course and peloton speed, always listen for the bell and look at the officials’ tent to know how many laps are left.
For a 30 minute race, you can expect the distance covered to be around 10 miles. -
