We will have day of registration available at the check-in table from 8:15 am - 2:45 pm for $80.00 for your first race and $20.00 for any additional races (payable by cash or check). You must be registered at least 1 hour before the start of your event, no exceptions. About the Race

Welcome to the Apple Valley Circuit presented by Pursuit Racing. A hearty thank you to our sponsors: Weaver Mancuso Brightman PLLC, Rockbridge Investment Management, and Bike Loft.  We truly appreciate the support!

Apple Valley Circuit is a one-of-a-kind cycling race. Nestled in the hills of beautiful Lafayette, New York, the private race track consists of pristine pavement and sweeping turns, which make for a fast, safe, and technical race course that is extremely spectator friendly.  Whether you're a new or experienced cyclist of any discipline, this is the course for you!

NOTE: If you participated in the 2023 Apple Valley Circuit we are changing the course slightly for 2024 - instead of turning to go downhill for the u-turn/climb we will be going straight onto the back straightaway. This year's course should be flatter and faster with shorter laps resulting in competitive racing. Click here for the Strava route for the 2024 course. 

Rules

Violations of any of the rules below could lead to being DQ'd in the Race Director's discretion.  We reserve the right to shift start times, change the course layout, and/or combine fields based on safety issues and field sizes.  Check your pre-race email for all final details before race day.

Absolutely no spectators are allowed on the track at any time during the races.  Spectators can view the entire race from the border of the track or the wall along the finishing straight and surrounding grassy areas, no one other than race organizers and timers will be allowed to cross the track at any time - no exceptions!Only ride clockwise on the track and be mindful of other riders on the track when exiting and entering - riders on the track have the right-of-way.Be respectful of the volunteers and race crew! We couldn't execute these races without their support.The track does not open until 9:00 am. Please stay off the track before then and follow the instructions from the volunteers at the designated on/off exits (do not enter the track from anywhere else).Before each race, there will be 5-10 minutes for racers to ride a warmup lap before gathering at the start line.  All other warmups must be done off the track.  The roads surrounding the venue are somewhat hilly, so trainers are recommended - please be mindful to not take up additional parking spaces.Be respectful of the venue (carry-in/carry-out; no littering).No e-bikes or triathlon/TT bikes are allowed.No aggressive riding in the Citizen's Race, we anticipate there will be children on the course so please give each other a wide berth and call out when passing. This should be a chill ride, save the sprints for the races.Our track time ends at 5:00 pm and we must clear the venue by 6:15 pm.  We appreciate your help in promptly clearing the track after each race, as well as cleaning up and departing following the conclusion of the Men's A Race and awards.  Schedules (Primary and Alternate)

Our preferred schedule is the one posted when you registered, however the Race Director reserves the right to change or alter the schedule as needed. If there are less than 30 riders in a given field, or if we run into an unexpected delay during the day, we may consolidate some fields as needed in order to hold all of the races planned. We will e-mail the schedule out the night before the race after registration has closed and will announce any changes the day of as soon as possible.
