Our Thursday Night Fireball series partners with Shickluna Bike Shop to offer a Thursday night criterium training course on Grand Island. This will be a scored series, separate from the BBC Sunday Series Club Races. Our course is linked below, a 1.9-mile circuit with 3 corners. The A field will do 9 laps for 17.1 miles (about 37-40 minutes), and the B field will do 6 laps for 11.4 miles (about 27-30 minutes). Come out and practice cornering, top end fitness, and race tactics to help sharpen your handling skills and racing craft!
Schedule: These will be most Thursdays during the season with the B race starting at 6:30pm and the A race starting at 7:00pm. Check the BBC Events calendar for more details

First and Second Half of the Season
The Thursday Night Fireball season will be split into two halves for scoreboards reflecting a first half and second half of the season. This allows for more focused leaderboard competition and a reset mid-season to start over to compete on a new leaderboard!
First half of the Fireball season will be:
Second half of the Fireball season will be:
Your best 4 out 5 races for each of the two season halves will count towards your standing for each half-season.
Age Based Brackets for Sunday Series Racing
New in 2025, we are including a version of separate scoring for all age brackets! In the A and B fields, you will race against everyone for points, but your points will be pulled out into separate leaderboards for your age bracket. How does this work? If a rider in the 35-44 age bracket gets 3rd place out of everyone racing, their 3rd place points will go towards the 35-44 age bracket competition. This encourages aggressive racing because you have to compete against everyone to earn points, but also allows for everyone across the board to compete directly in your age group for final standings!
The age brackets for the 2025 BBC club races (both Sunday Series and Thursday Night Fireball Series) are:
- 24 and under
- 25-34
- 35-44
- 45-54
- 55+
Here’s an example of how it works. Compete against everyone for points, then compare your points to your age bracket:
