We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to encouraging participation in bicycling at all levels. The Club sponsors weekly races, both on and off road. We also work with local governments and bike shops in self-regulating the use of our local trails and roads for responsible bike usage.
It was never going to be easy to run a race series in 2020. Everyone who overcame this summer’s challenges to race their bikes with the ACC deserves an award, but only a few have earned the title of series individual winners. Congratulations to those who completed all the qualifications for series points and especially those fastest few men, women, juniors, and masters. Here are your 2020 series champions!
