Tour de Cumming UrbanCross bicycle race
July 17, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 10:00 pm EDT
$3 – $30“UrbanCross: If you can ride it, you can race it”
UrbanCross bicycle racing is a fun, short, closed course blending elements of MTB, CycloCross, and Enduro racing in a two “Moto” format under the night lights of the downtown Cumming Fairgrounds. July 17, 2021. Paved parking and covered seating for spectators and racers alike.
Have fun and be competitive racing just about any type of bike because the course incorporates many cycling disciplines. It is laid out to reward rider skills on multiple surfaces and elevation changes without intimidating the beginners. The start and finish areas will be exciting for spectators under or visible from the covered arena seating.
Our mission is “Offer all cyclists a fun, challenging, competitive, and convenient racing environment.”
All types of pedal bikes will race together in age, skill, and M/F classifications (MTB vs CX vs FR vs BMX vs DH vs GRVL, etc). Taking it to another level, the Class 1 electric riders will race in their own skill and M/F classifications. And for those Rebel Riders that ride everything but a bicycle, we even have a class combining Off-Road two-wheel Scooters, Skateboards, etc into a single race.
There will be a full range of youth-age classifications including a strider class for the 6 and under riders. UrbanCross Racing enthusiastically supports our local NICA National Interscholastic Cycling Association chapter.
First race is at 6:00PM. Sign-up at 3:00PM. Practice at 4:00PM.
The racing format will be an exciting two-moto format from a 20 person wide start line; each moto is a cardio/sprint of 5 to 15 minutes and the lowest two-moto score wins (1pt for 1st, 2pts for 2nd, etc); 2nd-moto is the tiebreaker; a DNF (Did Not Finish) is considered last place points, so don’t quit!
The closed course is entirely on the Cumming Fairground property and consists of natural and manmade surfaces. Obstacles may include sand, gravel, grass, slopes, asphalt, concrete, RR ties, sand bags, stairs, etc. Rideable by the average rider and challenging to the Exp/Pros. Racecourse sections and race length may be rerouted in the interest of Age, Safety, Time, and Ability.
If you think you are a fit rider, then enter more than one classification to get an extra bit of cardio/sprint training on a single evening of intense racing.
