Club vs Club Race: BBC vs GVCC

August 20 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

This event is a special Buffalo Bicycling Club event. You must be a member to participate. For all GVCC Members, please sign up on the Bikereg link as an “Out of Town Member.” To join, click here.

This race is a revival of the BBC vs GVCC Club vs Club Race!  We plan on hosting friendly inter-club competition on a course that’s great for the all-around rider!  Our BBC Corfu course is easy to get to for everyone from Buffalo and Rochester, and it’s a flatter course with a few long false flats-  it could end in a sprint finish or in a selective breakaway!

Parking:

Park at the Pembroke Intermediate School on Rt 77 off of Exit 48A.  Address: 58 Alleghany Rd, Corfu, NY 14036

Course:

Click Here to View the Course Page.  A 6.2 mile flat to rolling loop on low-traffic roads, great for an all-rounder rider!

What You Should Expect on Race Day:

  1. Please plan to arrive 30 minutes early to get into your riding clothes and get your bike ready
  2. Write down your name on the sign-in sheet when it becomes available, head out on the bike get a few pedal strokes in the legs to warm up
  3. At 10am, we will be doing a one-lap group ride for all Cat 1/2/3, Cat 4/5, and Master’s 50+ riders so everyone can see the course together
  4. We’ll start the A, B, and C groups in waves to race the amount of race laps noted in the Course Description
  5. At the end, make sure you know your finishing place and report it to the event organizer

Scoring:

This race is different from most because the only score that matters is your club’s total score!  Everyone who is a member of the BBC is on one team and everyone from GVCC is on the other team (regardless of regular team affiliations).  The winner of the BBC vs GVCC Club vs Club race is the club that scores the most cumulative points across the Cat 1/2/3, Cat 4/5, and Master’s 50+ events, not the individual winners of the races.
