PROFESSIONAL RACES, COMMUNITY RIDES, AND SCHOOL RACES OVERVIEW

Inner City Cycle Connection, Inc. (IC3) bicycle events are separated into three categories.  They are professional races, community rides, and school races.  Professional races will involve the pro cyclists competing for prize money and trophy in our tournaments.   Our Martin Luther King Jr. race classic and the America's race classic are for professional cyclists.  These professional races will be governed by the time trial race criterion standards set by the international cycling federation and will be similar to such popular cycling events like the Tour de France and the Amgen Tour of California. 

Community rides and school races, on the other hand, will involve everyone ranging from beginning cyclists to the pros.  These rides and races are more informal in nature and are intended to give the amateur cyclists a feel for cycling at a pro level along with promoting health & fitness.  In addition, these rides will assist in bringing awareness to some of society's illnesses and help generate funding to solve them.  IC3 will work with other organizations on some of these rides (i.e.: the cancer society).  These  races and rides will help IC3 accomplish the goals set forth in our mission statement.
