Organiser's Description

The Arctic Bicycle Club is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting bicycling safety, education, and competition. Originally founded in Anchorage in the 1970s as a road cycling club, the Arctic Bicycle Club now offers a Road Racing Division, a Mountain Racing Division, and a Cyclocross Racing Division.

ABOUT ARCTIC ROAD:

The Arctic Bicycle Club's Road Division offers a range of racing options, from individual time trials to pack based road races, hill climbs, criteriums, gravel and mixed surface events. Dont let the spandex, aero gear and cyber mods scare you; technological enhancements are the wave of the future! Plus we have a category for every racer, whatever your experience, fitness, or equipment. Our racing community welcomes everyone, even cyborgs and ETs. Just dont show up with a motor in your bike or top caps on your valves.

ABOUT ARCTIC MTB:
The mountain bike division organizes a variety of competitive events across Anchorages extensive trail system. MTB also offers a range of racer categories to match ability level, experience, and current fitness. From Juniors to Masters, Intermediate to Open, weve got everyone covered. Stuck in a single gear? We offer single speed as well. So come race with us! Youre guaranteed to have a blast.

ABOUT ARCTIC CROSS:
Cyclocross racing is family friendly, and attracts a wide range of participants, young and old, serious and not so serious. Since the courses are relatively short, they are spectator friendly, and participants often come for their own race, and stay to cheer on the other races. We have mountain bikers, road bikers, snow bikers, commuters, cyclists who consider themselves competitive and cyclists who consider themselves non-competitive, all participating.
