WVU Home Race Mar 21-22

We're about set to host our annual ACCCCCCC Conference race. This year we're excited to finally get a race on campus, around the WVU Stadium. But first we're going to hurt the other teams with a time trial in Mt Morris that includes a 1.2mile climb up Kiger Hill. Sunday we'll take it easy on the classic WVU RR course out on Big and Little Shannon, with about 1300' of elevation change per lap. Race Flyer
