UPDATES: The 4th Annual Lincoln Plating Spring Cycling Classic is set for Saturday and Sunday,
April 16-17, 2005. With a prize list of $6000, the fourth installment of this early season event should be the
best and most highly attended race, yet. Last year, the Lincoln Plating spring Cycling Classic raised over $3700
for the Willard Community Center in Lincoln, which provides support and programs for youth and adults in West
Lincoln.
The two day event will feature a stage race, including a road race, time trial and criterium
for riders in the Pro 1/2, Senior Men 3, Senior Men 4, Men Masters 35+, Senior Women 1/2/3 and select Junior
categories. The stage race will be a NCCA collegiate event, also. The road race and criterium will be offered
separately for riders in the Senior Men 5, Senior Women 4, Men Masters 45+ and 55+, as well as select Junior
categories.
The Lincoln Plating Spring Cycling Classic will serve as the curtain-raiser for the 2005
Midwest Maxxis Cup, which is a regional point series to determine the top cyclists in various categories. Maxxis
product will be awarded to top finishers at the Lincoln Plating Spring Cycling Classic.
In addition to
the Midwest Maxxis Cup tie-in, the Lincoln Plating Spring Cycling Classic will be a "Lance Armstrong Junior
Olympic Race Series" event. This new development is an exciting one for the organizers of the Lincoln Plating
Spring Cycling Classic and should draw some top talent from around the region to compete in the Junior ranks.
Specific Junior categories and the schedule of events are available in the "Race Bible."
