News: Road and Cyclocross Participation Series

Did you know that there are thousands of $'s worth of participation prizes to be awarded for both road and cyclocross disciplines this year? Local cycling racer, organizer and enthusiast Gary Sewell, with the help of many individual and corporate donations, put together a participation points system and stellar prize package for road and cyclocross races this year and prizes will be presented this coming Saturday, Nov 28th.

All you had to do to be eligible to win participation prizes was participate in enough events this year. You could finish first or last, race with a full MCA license in any category, on a $600 or a $5000 bike...whatever the case you'd still be eligible to have your name drawn for one of many superb prizes including a $500 Sugoi wardrobe, gift certificates of up to $600, a custom wheel set valued at over $1000, Shimano RS-80 wheels, a private box for Manitoba Moose games, and much more!

If you missed out on things this year because you did not participate in enough events there is no need to worry - the participation series will be back bigger and better next year, and it may extend to mountain biking as well. Stay tuned for details, and check out the link below for more info on prizes this year:
