It’s a week of wheels in Traverse City August 22-29 throughout the Grand Traverse Area! The week started out on Sunday with the popular Traverse City Triathlon and will wrap up with the road cycling enthusiast’s popular Cherry-Roubaix, a three day event of sprints, criterium, and road race.
The more adventurous crowd will enjoy the 2 Wheel Technique trials, where participants will execute what is called the “observed trials” of riding up, over, and off various obstacles-including park benches, fences, steps and more! Check out the Fixed Gear Symposium rides and challenges, including the mechanics race on Friday, bike polo on Saturday, and the “Hell Yes” sprints on Saturday evening.
As part of Friday Night Live, held on Front Street in downtown Traverse City from 5:30 – 9:00 PM, features a bike rodeo for the kids. Also featuring bicycle Sprints as well as live music caps off this fun filled evening. Over at the TC Micro-brew and Music Festival on Friday night will feature a cyclo-cross event that goes through the main tent and historic building 50 at the Grand Traverse Commons. Watch the racers battle it out while sampling some of the Midwest’s best micro-brews and listening to great music!
Wrapping up the week will be the Cherry Roubaix, featuring the Old Towne criterium on Saturday. A spectators favorite where cyclists race through brick paved streets in the feel of a European race around downtown Traverse City. Sunday features a road race out near Cedar on a challenging 13.7 mile loop.
