4th of July weekend offers bike tour event for all ages
The Tour of Lawrence, a series of three bicycle races sanctioned by USA Cycling, will take place July 3-5 around the city.
Bob Sanner, event director of the Tour, said the races offered a variety of courses for riders of different skill levels, including kids and masters races. Sanner said the event offered entertainment for non-riders with live music, kids activities, food and a chance to watch the races.
There will be cash prizes awarded to top finishers in each category with a total cash purse for the events totaling more than $20,000.
Online registration ends Thursday at noon, but walk up registrations are welcome with an additional fee. Those planning to bike in junior races, 18 years old or younger, can register for free with a cycling membership.
“We are trying to get more youth involved in cycling,” Sanner said.
Sanner said that about 200 people had already registered for the event and that he expected 100 more.
