Working Man's 2 Day Madison June 29th/30th

After we get through with our Century ride, we're going to be hosting a mid-week 2-day Madison on Tuesday June 29th and Wednesday June 30th. The Working Man's title is a tribute to the race's mid-week time slot. The two days of racing will feature 3 categories. The Madison category will be open to all teams who are competent madison riders, and limited to 10 teams. We will feature a combined A/B category for those A's and B's who aren't in the madison field. These racers won't be racing with handslings in the regular madison style, but they will be racing as teams to compete for points to become the champion team. The C category will be run in the same vein as the A/B field with riders teaming up to collect points towards the overall standings. Info on the event is here: Working Man's Madison Page
