TRAINING BEGINS FOR THE CYCLING EVENT OF THE YEAR.
Fort Wayne, Indiana – Resolve to get fit in the New Year by
training for the Parkview Cycling Festival. On Saturday, July
31st, 2010, baseball will take a back seat to NASCAR on
two wheels at Parkview Field in downtown Fort Wayne. Due
to the demand, the event will return with some new races for
kids and recreational cyclists.
“Parkview is looking forward to another great cycling festival.
Last year's event was a tremendous success and a
wonderful addition to the summer activities in downtown
Fort Wayne,” said Sue Ehinger, Chief Operating Officer,
Parkview Hospital. “Parkview is committed to improving the
health of the communities we serve. The annual cycling
festival is a terrific way to highlight the importance of
exercise and being active.”
Last July, 200 racers and more than 4000 spectators
helped to make the inaugural Parkview Cycling Festival one
of the largest bicycle races in the Midwest. Eight states
were represented in the races, including Alabama, Virginia
and New York. Many were impressed by the facilities
available to racers, citing the abundance of parking, nice
restrooms and a special lounge for participants.
“Parkview Field continues to be a showcase for a wide
variety of events,” said Fort Wayne TinCaps Vice President
of Marketing, Michael Limmer. “The Parkview Cycling
Festival is a tremendous opportunity to partner on an event
that draws participants from all over the country and
provides spectators a comfortable and scenic place to
watch the action. We are excited to have the Parkview
Cycling Festival back at Parkview Field in 2010. It should be
a great day of racing.”
Cycling remains the second most popular recreational
activity in the United States after exercise walking. In 2010,
the Parkview Cycling Festival will have categories for kids
and citizen racers.
“The fast course and crowded field can be very intimidating
for a less experienced cyclist. By having a citizen’s category,
recreational riders will have the chance to compete on a
closed course in front of their family and friends,” said Race
Director John Martin.
The Parkview Cycling Festival also returns with 7 other
races sanctioned by USA Cycling throughout the day. The
last race will end in dramatic fashion, under the lights, with
the professionals blazing the course.
“This type of regional event is a great way to expand the use
of Parkview Field and the Downtown Improvement District is
excited to welcome the cycling festival back to downtown.
This year, with the addition of the new bike lanes
downtown, it will be even easier for participants and cycling
enthusiasts to explore downtown Fort Wayne before and
after the event making it a fun day for the whole family,” said
Rich Davis, President of the Downtown Improvement
District.
The event, organized by Fort Wayne's Men of Steel Racing
Club, is free to the public. In addition to the all-day racing,
the cycling event also includes music and health and
fitness vendors.
