MIDWINTER SERIES

Like beer cans, midwinters are a good way to ease into racing, as winds are lighter in the winter, it’s often sunny, and the competition is friendly.

If your organization has a midwinter series you’d like included here next year, email your schedule and contact information to , or fax it to (415) 383-5816, by November 10, 2009.
