Cycling Made Real & Fuji Bicycles donate frame for women cyclists

Cycling Made Real and Fuji have created a participation program to increase women’s interest in track bike racing.  The program is aimed toward category 4 women racers.  Racers   accumulate points by participating in track bike races and clinics held at the Ed Rudolph Velodrome.  There is no cost to enroll in the program as category 4 women racers will be tracked and points standings will be announced weekly via the Ed Rudolph Velodrome website.

 The woman with the most accumulated points from June 1, 2006 to September 3, 2006 wins the Fuji Pro track frame.  The frame is valued at $900.00

A full program offering can be found by visiting www.northbrookvelodrome.org
