RACING MATTERS SOUTHSIDE ROAD RACE THIS SUNDAY Rumor has it that the race at Southside on Sunday was possibly the largest road race in Bermuda in the last 4 centuries. Congrats to race directors Tab Froud, Pam Froud, Phil Trussell and Nick Greet on organizing a great event that ran smoothly and on time. All categories saw high competition and full results are below. SINCLAIR PACKWOOD MEMORIAL RACE
All invitations have gone out to riders for this event. Didn't get one but expected one? Immediately contact info@bermudabicycle.org. No one will start the race if not registered. For those who received an invitation you need to put your completed form in to the BBA box at either Winners Edge or Bicycle Works by close of business Wednesday, May 20th (that is today!) or sit on the sidelines come Monday. We require a few helpers for the finish area of this race. There will be marshals at the intersections with Cedar Avenue plus finish line crew. If you want to see the conclusion from inside the ropes without having to camp out from Thursday evening then email info@bermudabicycle.org or call 799-8614. Glory awaits those who assist! SPONSOR
