The 2012 Air Force Cycling Challenge Crystal Ride
 
Sunday, June 10th 0730 hrs
Crystal City
2100 Crystal Drive
Arlington, VA
Brief Description:
The Crystal Ride is a non-competitive ride that will begin in Crystal City and pass by the Air Force Memorial. It offers a closed course, open to both serious and casual amateur cyclists, but closed to traffic! Bronze, Silver and Gold Medals will be awarded for those who can complete 2, 4 or 8 laps within the 3.5 hour window that the course will be open for the ride (closes at 11am). 8 laps will equate to a metric century (100 km). You do not have to start at 7:30am, as you can check in up to 9am - it just all depends on how many laps you want to complete by 11am. There are two ways to participate, either through Standard Registration or as a fundraiser by being part of Team Sabre.
In-person packet pick-up will be available at the Crystal City Marriott at Reagan National Airport (1999 Jeff Davis Hwy, Arlington, VA), on Friday between 2-6pm, and on Saturday, between noon and 6pm. You can also register on ride morning at the s/f line (check back, in case registration is full)
