This weekend marks the 3rd of 8 consecutive weekends of Collegiate and USA Cycling racing in the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Cycling Conference with a co-hosted weekend promoted by University of Colorado-Boulder and the University of Northern Colorado-Greeley. Saturday’s fast-paced criterium racing will take place at Boulder’s Research Park with collegiate racing in the morning followed by USA Cycling open category races in the afternoon. On Sunday, UNC will host their Promontory Park Criterium to have two speed-filled days of spectator-friendly bike racing.

Taking top honors in the Collegiate Men’s A field was University of Colorado-Boulder rider, Kiel Reijnen, who also just represented the UCI Continental Pro Team, Jelly Belly in the Amgen Tour of California just weeks ago. In the Collegiate Women’s A race, Julia Manley picked up the win for Colorado State University-Rams Cycling Team.
