The 4th Annual Allgood Pest Solutions Cycle for Parkinsons at Georgia Gwinnett College on June 28, 2009 was a great success. For the weekend we had 400 race entries. It was a very good race day on campus - even though it was quite hot, we had a nice breeze and lots of shady trees along the Start/Finish line. No serious injuries (a few skinned knees and elbows) and the help of Georgia Gwinnett College volunteers to marshal the race course made for excellent results. The racers ranged from 10-12 year old juniors to women to 40+ masters to the pros. Sunday’s criterium (a loop that is less than a mile) race ranged from 20 minutes for the young juniors to 90 minutes for the pro racers all done at top speeds.
Frazier Cycling and the Georgia Chapter of the APDA team up with the Gwinnett Sports Commission and Florida-based Top View Sports to hold this event each year to raise public awareness about Parkinson’s Disease. Georgia Gwinnett College has for the past four years provided the race venue. This race is highly ranked by the cycling community as one of the best run races in the region. Thanks goes out to all of our Sponsors
