Hey Everyone,
The team is planning a trip to the very exciting four day Green Mountain Stage Race in northern Vermont. This event takes place over the final weekend before school starts, from Friday, August 31st to Monday, Sept 3rd. It includes a tough individual time trial, a lumpy circuit race, a mountainous 61mile road race with a finish atop the Appalachian Gap, and finally a tight 6-corner crit in the middle of Burlington, VT. Please note that this race is extremely demanding regardless of category, and should be attempted by riders that have been putting effort into training this summer.
Here’s the website: http://www.gmsr.info/index.php
Categories include Men’s Cat4/5, 4, 3, 2, 1/Pro and Women’s Cat1/2 and 3/4
Registration for the GMSR is significant, currently ranging from $205-$225, and racers will fully assume that cost. All other costs will depend on our number of participants.
The GMSR trip will be costly and is on a weekend full of festivities in Montreal as students return for school, but if you have been training hard this summer and want a big event to look forward to and keep you going through the rest of the season, this incredible racing experience may be for you.
It would be best to register before the July 30th deadline before the prices increase. Otherwise we ask that anyone interested register before the August 14th deadline in order to make final planning arrangements much easier, and certainly to avoid the additional $30 registration increase.
If anyone interested has a car available, or even a possible place we could stay to reduce costs, contact me via PM, phone, facebook, etc
Indicate your interest level above, and if you don’t need a ride but will be at the race pick the third option so we know which of our friends will be there!
More details to follow once we determine our group size.
