Women racers needed. Sept 24, Smethport, PA 53 Mile Race
A) We are not begging for women racers. We are advertising. I
know that there are many quality women racers out there. We just want them to find their way to Smethport, McKean County September 24. We need male racers also. I know that there are more than 9 male racers out there also willing to go the 53 mile course. B) Most people are opting for the 15 mile fun ride which does not offer a purse. C) We have set up a very cool 53 mile circuit race with about $1500 cash when including lap premiums divided equally M&F top five places. D) No licenses are required. This is not an officially sanctioned race. This is our first year (since the 1890s) following the old, traditional race course. Olean Cycling Club members are assisting us with race details, race software, digital finish photography, etc. E) Race Course: Even though our region is hilly/mountainous (and beautiful)race course is very flat with only extremely mild, Illinois style terrain. F) Road surface is not perfect but pretty good. Paved. We are sweeping key corners and hay bailing, etc. We cross over Galico Bridge which is very old but solid and somewhat cordurouy. There are some 90 degrees turns on the course and on that is about 110. G) We desparately need WOMEN competitors in the 53 mile race. Right now we have ONE ENTRY in the women's category. Please pass the word around with any contacts or friends that you might have to come to Smethport and compete in our 53 mile race for the purse & gold watches. H) It is really important that we have competitive entries so we can solicit prize money in the future and make the race grow. We have an identity problem because we are a new (well, at least not since the 1890s) race and we are from this little (cool) town. I) race website: http://www.smethporthistory.org follow link with the race logo online registrations: BikeReg.comhttp://www.bikereg.com/races/register.asp?EventID=2527 Active.com http://www.active.com/event_detail.cfm?event_id=1231027 Cost of entry is $25 and includes a very cool t-shirt: J) Anyway, please pass this message around to your friends and contacts. We need more than 9 racers! K) We just posted (today) a "where to stay" link on the Planet Smethport site which will be helpful: http://www.smethporthistory.org Thanks so much, Ross Porter Wheel Around the Hub Race Chair Smethport, PA 90 miles south of Buffalo; 100 miles East of Erie, 160 miles North of Pittsburgh |
