MN Fixed Gear Classic Returns
After a one-year hiatus, the MN Fixed Gear Classic returns to the NSC Velodrome, June 11-13 as part of the Nature Valley Bicycle Festival.  This 3-day spectacle of speed will once again bring elite racers from across the country to the hardwood oval at the National Sports Center.

The 2010 Fixed Gear Classic will feature a unique dual-omnium format with separate competitions for sprinters and endurance athletes.  Special cross-over events will pit competitors in both fields against each other for bragging rights (and omnium points).  In addition to the elite racing, local competitors in the Category 4-5 field will have a chance to compete in select races throughout the weekend.

Stay tuned for more details as schedule and expected riders are announced.
