Turlock Lake Road Race presented by Rabobank

For those who can’t get enough of the ever popular Snelling and Merco road race courses, Ciclistas del Valle Cycling Club (Fun Sport Bikes Cycling Team) adds another roller-fest to the early race season calendar. Resurrected from the former Junior District Road Race Championships, this new course winds through the scenic farmland around Turlock Lake and overlaps sections of both Snelling and Merco. A key feature of this course is the famed Hawkins Road, which delights climbers and clydesdales alike with its progressively taller and seemingly endless series of rollers. Expect plenty of attacks here, especially on the last lap as the finish line is only a few miles away.

We’re also planning a spectator- and supporter-friendly event. The main parking and registration area is at the state park with picnic tables, barbeque pits, public restrooms and sandy beaches. Plus, the finish line is adjacent to the parking area and the feed zone is a short distance by car. Bring the entire family for a fun day at the races!
