Alright folks, here is the run down for how things will go this weekend. Le Tour de Birmingham is a two day stage race. There will be three categories for both women and men. There will be a General Classification (overall shortest time for both days), King/Queen of the Mountains (determined by your placement at different checkpoints), and a Sprinter’s category (determined by your placement at other checkpoints). In order to compete for these categories you will need to race both days, but if you just want to roll one day that’s cool too. Entry for the event is $10. If you race/hang out Saturday night you do NOT have to pay again to race/hang out Sunday. If you just come out to race/hang out Sunday, entry is still $10. YOU MUST WEAR A HELMET AND SIGN A WAIVER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EVENT. RIDERS SATURDAY NIGHT WILL ALSO NEED LIGHTS BOTH FRONT AND REAR.

Checkpoints:

Saturday: Bici Coop (Start/Finish) - Rear of Homewood Cycle (KOM) - Birmingham Bicycle Company (Sprint)

Sunday: Jones Valley Urban Farm (Start/Finish) - Railroad Park bowls (Sprint) - Church Street Books (KOM)

Saturday night will be a BYOB hang out at Bici and Sunday will feature music from the Divine 6/7 and a keg for those of age. 

It should be a good time, you and your’s should try to make it out!
