Fourth annual George Street Bike Challenge for Major
Taylor
Main and George streets Worcester, Mass.
See how fast you can pedal up George Street, a two-block quad-buster that was a training ground for 1899 world champion Major Taylor. It's one rider at a time against the clock in this steep uphill time trial in downtown Worcester presented by Barney's Bicycle and the Seven Hills Wheelmen. The distance is 500 feet, and the average grade is 18 percent. The contest is open to riders age 12 and up. Helmets are required. Entry fee is $15. Proceeds benefit the Major Taylor Association, Inc. The 2005 event was sponsored by Puma, Standard Auto, and many other Friends of Major Taylor.
Bike raffle: A Diamondback Century road bike from Barney's, and other cool stuff was raffled off. Click here for the list of prizes and winners.
