Junior Women Series new addition to 2011 WWC!

In support of the start of the Washington High School Cycling League, a Junior Women series has been added. This is in addition to the Cat 3 and Cat 4 Series that are already a part of WWC.

Junior Women are defined as under 18. If there are enough participants, this group will be divided into high school and pre-high school. Points will be biased towards consistent participation in the series races. Bonus points for race reports and pictures of participants racing.

It is okay to race cyclocross on a mountain bike. So no need to worry about trying to talk parents into buying another bike!

Redline Title Sponsor again for 2011!

Redline Bicycles will continue to be the title sponsor for the 2011 WWC Series. An industry leader in women-specific bikes and sizing, their support of WWC is greatly appreciated.

Get training to win the series prizes from Redline Bicycles:
Cat 3 - Redline Cyclocross Frame
