Welcome:  Hello racers, volunteers, fans, and sponsors, this will be our seventh annual Brice Prairie Time Trial Race and the third year of the Y-30 Road Bike Race.  We are part of the WiSport Series (www.WiSport.org), although you do not have to be a WiSport member to race with us. We had over one hundred and thirty racers in 2011 for the time trials and over 100 racers for the Y-30.  For all who participated last year a big - Thank You.  The BPTT race route will remain on Brice Prairie (Click here for 40K Race Route *requires Adobe Reader get it here) the Y-30 will also be the same. The racing format offered for 2012 will be a 26.2 mile time trial with individual, two or four person teams competing.  The categories will be female, male, or co-ed.  The four person co-ed team must be two male and two female riders.  The Y-30 is a road race with a mix of flats, hills and safe descents.  It is a challenging race venue taking you through the scenic bluffs of the area.
