- Macon, GA -
As Mercer Cycling heads to Athens Twilight for the second year in a row, they take a much larger team with higher expectations. Andrew Lockwood, Elizabeth Lee, Kevin Roberts, Jason Glow, A.J. Sholly, Gabe Denes, and Evan Ayoub will all travel to Twilight to race in the morning on the Oconee River Greenway Circuit. The race course is a 1.3 mile, 4 corner circuit, with two long straights that encircles the Greenway Park between East Broad Street and North Avenue. It's fast, with an open uphill sprint finish to the Greenway Overlook on smooth pavement.
Elizabeth Lee will race in the Cat 3/4 women's event at 8:00am while the men's Cat 5 race will commence at 8:45am. Both races are 30 minutes with purse sizes of $250 and $200 respectively. The top five finishers of the Cat 3/4 women's race will also earn an entry into the Amateur Finals that night in Athens.
After the racing finishes Saturday morning, the team will break up into two squads as Lee and Denes will compete in the Ft. Yargo mountain bike event while the rest of the team will travel to the Historic Roswell Criterium to race in the Cat 4/5 race at 1:55pm. This 40 minute race offers 7 placings for a $300 purse.
