Hollenbeck Race, May 2

FLCC's Hollenbeck Spring Classic Road Race in Virgil, NY is happening again this year on Sunday, May 2. This event is a part of the 2004 New York State Maxxis Cup Series and a LAJORS (Lance Armstrong Junior Olympic Race Series) race for 15-22 years olds, giving juniors the opportunity to qualify for regional selection camps and to increase the number of competitive events for young riders.

This year in addition to the historic road course and famous cookies, we are giving out a $15.00 return of entry fee to the first three places in each category. We will offer preregistration for the first time on bikereg.com for $13.00, as well as registration on the day of the race for $15.00. Juniors will race for $10.00. Cat 1/2/3 men will race 3 laps of the 22 mile course, 3/4 men and 1/2/3 women will race 2 laps, while 4/5 men, 4 women, master 35+, juniors, and tandem will race 1 lap.

We need your help as a volunteer for this club event and/or come out and race! If you have a friend or family member who'd be willing to volunteer with you or help while you're racing, we will provide all race day volunteers with a ``Race Crew" T-shirt or water bottle and food and support during the race to those acting as corner marshals and pace cars/wheel vans. Come out, see some great racing and support cycling in the greater Ithaca/Binghamton/Syracuse/Rochester area.

If you have questions about the race or would like to volunteer please contact me, Sara Barker sb65@1cornell.edu, 254-2465(w), 539-6594(h).
