The Copper Valley Circuit Race, scheduled for this Sunday the 22nd, has been postponed due to weather related low turnout (half of last year). While the weather day of should now be okay, our equipment and trailer and van are also buried in snow with more on the way. With low numbers, we cannot afford to do the race.

Our plan is to postpone the event to Sunday April 12, Sunday May 31, or Sunday June 14, none of which have conflicting road events. We are currently in contact with the Junior Series about which date would be best for them (as the race is a points event for Juniors). Once we set a date, riders for this Sunday will automatically be entered for that date, but those that can’t make it can request a credit for another VP race this year by emailing velopro1@gmail.com. We can make other arrangements as well.

Why, you may ask, did we go ahead with a smaller turnout at Pine Flat? Because it was a two day affair with Cantua Creek, and riders may not have come that distance for one day at all.

Please contact your friends and teammates about the postponement. Spread the word via social media as well. I’ll be at the race site in Copperopolis all day Sunday to catch riders that miss this information.
