Seattle, WA - Organizers in Seattle, WA announce the 2004 Cascade

Bicycle Club Education Foundation ? Northwest Juniors Racing Series,

which is presented by Bicycle Paper and the Washington State Bicycle

Association and is part of the Lance Armstrong Junior Olympics Race

Series. The all-criterium race series is comprised of 11 races in the

Seattle area.



?



Continuing on last year?s success, the 2004 series will run on many of

the same courses. Series Director Dave Schilling says, ?In our first

year we saw junior participation increase to an average of 40

participants in each event, quite an increase over the average of 10

riders in past years at local juniors? events. With an expanded

marketing program to reach more kids I think we?ll see our ridership

average at least 50 juniors for each races in 2004.?



?



Five new venues have been added to this year?s line up, including three

new courses in the Seattle area.? Juniors race start times have been

moved from early in the morning to ?prime time,? and are now scheduled

to run just before the top senior categories later in the day. That

move will allow juniors coming from further distances to compete in the

races.



?



The series will continue with the successful age and gender-based

junior categories. "Kids gain strength quickly as they progress from

pre-teen through the late teens. The age categories reflect the

strength progression," explains Schilling.? The categories are: A

(17-18); B (15-16); C (13-14) and D (10-12).

All races provide a motor vehicle traffic free environment and are part
