Ballard Crit
The 19th Annual Second Ascent Ballard Criterium is just around the corner:
Saturday, June 2nd. We are kicking off the month of June with some
high-speed racing on a classic and challenging four-corner course right in
the heart of Ballard.
If you haven't done this race in the past you need to know that the rowdy
crowds and the prizes both make this a great event. We have plenty of cool
stuff for primes and prizes for top finishers... AND cash money dollar
bills. This year we have great prizes, including $100 primes from The
Ballard Loft, Rainier Bike Law and Ravenna Capitol Management, along with
tons of other prizes from the following sponsors: Planet Bike, Hammer
Nutrition, Raleigh Bicycles, FSA, Pampeana Empandas, Look Pedals, Veloshine
Wipes, Ballard Pizza Company, Outdoor Research Clothing, Osprey Backpacks,
Defeet socks, Julbo Sunglasses, Petzl Headlamps, Bicycle Heroes, Union
Physical Therapy, Capo clothing, Kavu clothing, Chef'n, and as always great
coffee from Galileo Coffee.
