MAZDA RACEWAY MONTHLY TWILIGHT RIDES
*Next Bicycle Ride Hosted by Webcor/**Alto Velo *
MONTEREY, Calif., (September 23, 2009) – The next Twilight Bicycle Ride at
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca will be from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday,
October 14. The event will be co-hosted by Webcor/Alto Velo Cycling Club.
For the first time at the twilight ride, Light & Motion (cycling lights)
will be joining the Twilight Ride to assist the cyclists with demo and
rental lights.
The Twilight Ride will be informal and the track will be open to
recreational cyclists, including children, throughout the entire time.
The Twilight race features a six lap circuit race with prizes awarded to
both male and female on designated laps for sprints and king/queen of the
mountain.
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca’s open track twilight cycling program started this
past spring and the 2.238 mile circuit is now open monthly to all levels of
cyclists who wish to ride and train on the world famous race track. The cost
is $10 per rider and a portion of the proceeds is donated to charity.
Since the “Twilights” inception, over 1,000 cyclists have came out to pedal,
climb, and descend the same 11 turn layout with a 300 foot elevation change
that has played host to so many motor sport events in the past. The very
first Twilight this past April featured a practice race using the Sea Otter
Classic Criterium course.
Light & Motion has been pioneering state-of-the-art lighting systems for 20
years. In 2008, they launched a new line of LED lights supported by
high-performance optics and cutting edge electronics. These LED lights
represent the lightest, brightest, and most reliable lights available. The
lights are designed and built right here on the Monterey Peninsula.
The twilight cycling series is the brainchild of SCRAMP and the Monterey
County Parks Dept., as a program to bring the community together partaking
in the fun and healthy recreation sport of cycling.
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca was established in 1957. The world-renowned
raceway has been operated since its inception by the Sports Car Racing
Association of the Monterey Peninsula (SCRAMP), a not-for-profit 501C(4)
corporation. Each race season, SCRAMP donates its net proceeds to the
volunteer groups that help put on the races.
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca’s world-class 2009 racing schedule includes the
Monterey Sports Car Championships featuring the American Le Mans Series
October 9-11.
