Welcome to Facet Cycling and the NEPA Cycling Series.

It has been an exciting year for cycling in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Momentum is building and more and more riders are entering the race scene. This year we have seen many young riders following the Jack Williams Tire Youth Challenge Circuit while adult cyclists made successful race debuts and yet other reports of others commiting to their first serious bicycles and gear. Learning and growing and following our mission, the races are gaining in popularity especially as the festivities grow along side them.

How do I find other races this summer?

There are a few calendars that hold most all the events in our area.

  • What is a racing license?

    The sanctioning body for bicycle racing is the USA Cycling Federation. If you are new to the sport and want to try racing you will need to purchase a 1-day license at race registration. Normally $10. This allows you to race in the mens category 5 or womens category 4 races only. If you are in a masters age bracket you may not be eligible for your age group as these are skilled and seasoned racers. If you would like to purchase a 1 year license ($60) it can be done online at USACYCLING.ORG

    Where do I find equipment and mechanical service?

    Upstate Velo Club is partnered with most of the regions bike shops. As a club member you receive a membership card that will get you 10% off most merchandise in all the stores. Here is a link to participating shops.

    As a resident of Luzerne, I and a number of my friends and neighbors thoroughly enjoyed this event. I hope that you will consider returning next year and let the residents and the borough council know what we did right or wrong and allow us to improve and promote your race in the future.

    Hi Joe,

    Sorry I just saw your inquiry. I sent an email to the results co. I used. It looks like some of the youth races used the same number sequence and it over wrote the rider list in the 4/5 race. We will get it fixed and posted on usacycling’s result site. http://www.usacycling.org/results/index.php?permit=2011-2565

    thank you for your participation!

    Phil

    Hi Dave,

    sorry about that. The results co. didn’t show up and so the refs had to do their best just by eye.
