Reminder - Monday Night, August 1, 2016 - Clinics and Try Bike Racing Night
- Monday August 1st at Monday Night Bike Race Series at PIR

Introduction to Racing Clinics:
Never tried bicycle racing and always wanted to see what it was all about?
Want to learn about the basics and more? Come join us for a FREE quick and
concise clinic at 5:30 p.m. before the start of the novice race on the
first racing Monday of each month, May through August (May 2, June 6, July
11, and August 1).

Clinics are organized using expert coaches and instructors from Wenzel
Coaching. We will cover group riding basics, assist with number pinning,
and walk you through a typical race at PIR. If time permits, we will teach
tricks for saving energy, riding predictably and smoothly, and safely
maneuvering in the pack. Coaches will be available after the novice race to
answer questions.

Try Bike Racing Nights:
This season, in partnership with OBRA, Monday Night Race Series is offering
a deal for new racers rolling up to the start for the first time. On May 2,
June 6, July 11, and August 1, we will waive the one-day OBRA membership
fee of $5. (Standard entry fee of $15 still applies.)

Race Series at
PIR.

TEAM PRIZE:
Let’s Go Team! Show some team spirit and come out to PIR this Summer!
Support your teammates at all levels in the competition for the Castelli

twice—once in July and once in August. Teams are encouraged to enter as
many racers as they can in all levels to increase chances of winning
points. Racers will be in peak condition by mid-summer, so get ready for a
fierce battle for the winner-takes-all prize! Thanks to Castelli for the
support of this fantastic team prize! The prize money will be awarded at

JULY SERIES RESULTS - Monday Night Bike Race Series

Masters 30+ Category 1/2/3, Masters 30+ Category 4/5, and Women receive the
coveted Castelli Leader Jersey! Please pick up your prizes in August for

combine GC prizes and double them up for the Top 3 Women's combined
category. In order to have future Women's races, we need Women to show up.

NOTE: Please stop by registration to collect your July prizes on or after
August 1st race, they should have your name on them. We appreciate your
