Avoca Racing Events

07/15/2024

THANK YOU!

The 2024 season is a wrap and there's so much to be thankful for this season. We saw solid fields each week and great racing (even in the rain...).

The BMC / Walmart Cycling Team cooked food for everyone each week and we concluded the season with the traditional taco dinner presented by Custom Electronics Inc..

We also crowned the series champs in all categories with custom jerseys presented by Rapha.

Plus, collectively we did over 50 hours of community service by cleaning up the roads around Avoca.

Here are the results for our final race, #5.

Thank you all so much for the support and helping keep grassroots events like this alive.

Cheers and have a great 2024!

It’s race week! It’s hot and summer has set in. Make sure to stay hydrated and get ready for a smokin one tomorrow night.

Race #4 is tomorrow evening! We will be racing the same direction with right turns again, bib numbers on the left. 

Please pre-register online to save yourself some cash and help expedite registration on site.

The BMC team is also cooking hamburgers and hotdogs for everyone again. I’m so grateful for their generosity and contribution to the small race series, please thank Joe and their team for helping out.

Also, the final race #5 of the series this year will be pushed back from July 3 to the following week, July 10. I will update registration on bikereg accordingly. The final race of the series will be concluded with a huge taco cookout similar to years past. The custom electronics team knows how to serve things up and this is one you will not want to miss!

Racing this week is a GO.

The course thankfully has minimal damage from the recent storms.

Come out and race or watch as we try to resume some small bit of normalcy.

While this race series is just for building skills and having fun with friends, i hope everyone enjoys the atmosphere and small grassroots vibe.

Reac #2 is in the books! Such a great evening!

The weather finally gave us a break and race #2 was dry and super fast! Thank you to all the racers who came out to test your fitness and to the BMC / Walmart Cycling Team for firing up the grill and cooking food for everyone!

Thank you to our sponsors for making the series possible. Our series sponsors include Custom Electronics, The Meteor Cafe, Rapha and Flyer Homes. Please give these businesses a like / follow and help support their business.

Also, THANK YOU to the volunteers who come out to make sure the event is possible and a safe environment for racers. Thank you, Chris, Wendi, Joe, Victor, Kevin!

See you all in two weeks for race #3 on June 5th.

Race #2 of our series is a GO for tonight, 5/22/24.

Let’s hope the rain stays far away. See you all soon.

Thank you to everyone who came out last night to race or volunteer for race #1.

The ever-changing weather forecast seemed to give us a limited window to hold the races with a reduced duration. The first bit seemed to hold off and then things changed in a hurry. Thankfully all folks were able to complete a few laps and find some dryish space under the pavilion while the BMC team cooked food for everyone.

While we did not end up scoring the event due to the storm and fact most racers stopped, we did do our best to capture the top three for each category on the last lap completed.

And as luck would have it, only 30 minutes later we were welcomed with a full rainbow and bright skies... fingers crossed the rest of the season will be met with better weather.

05/08/2024

We are a GO for race #1 tonight.

Based on data two weather apps, it currently shows possible storms after 7pm this evening in NWA. This said, we are going to shorten all races tonight by 1 lap to work to conclude the races around 7pm or shortly after.

It's race day!

I am watching the weather as I'm sure you all are as well. At this time, race #1 is a GO for tonight.

I will continue to watch the weather and make a final call at 3pm today and make another post here.

Safety is top priority so if the weather turns bad we may cancel the race this evening and reschedule.

Please share.
