Mountain Bike Races Proposed in Albany
WEDNESDAY, 26 MARCH 2008
A proposal to organize a series of mountain bike races across the streets of downtown Albany was submitted to the City Council last Monday, March 24.
The proposal was submitted by Jim Lawrence, a member of Albany’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, along with physician and avid bike racer Robert Hughes.
According to the proposal, the series will be held on May 25. It will follow the criterium format, wherein bikers will compete on a short circuit on downtown streets.
The race series is also expected to attract several road racers across the state since no other race will take place on that weekend.
Upon approval, the city might witness the first criterium since the 1980s.
