Nebraska Cycling News

The 3-day cycling weekend features a challenging road race, individual time trial and final day criterium. Riders are encouraged to sign-up for all three races, but registration is available for the individual events. An omnium format will track riders progress and points will be awarded for place in each event. Medals will be awarded to the top three point finishers in each category that compete in all three events for the weekend AND the top rider will receive a FREE entry to all of the events in the 2008 Monumental Memorial Cycling Weekend.

Gage County offers some of the most unique terrain available in Nebraska with quiet country roads and beautiful views. And the gracious hospitality of the residents and businesses of Beatrice and Gage County make this race the best way to spend your Memorial Weekend!
