Skyway Classic Criterium Series

This year we are sticking with the weekend format and racing on Saturday and Sunday! With all the extra daylight this gives us, we are giving equal race time to all categories and opening up the series to Cat 3 racers!
Don’t fret, we are not straying too far from our roots. Skyway will still be focused on giving new racers plenty of experience in a safe and positive environment. This year there will be a 1 hour crit clinic prior to kicking off racing so folks can familiarize themselves with the course and have opportunities to engage with experienced racers. We will also be holding a number of clinics, workouts and Q&A sessions during the weeks leading up to the event. Stay tuned to our socials for more details
This two-day series gives newer racers a low-cost, low-tech, nearby opportunity to try out criterium racing and gain valuable experience, skills, and confidence on safe roads in a low pressure environment. Also its a great way for seasoned racers to stay extra sharp between early season races. Not to mention, the fabulous prizes and primes that await!

Hell of the North - BRGS
2026-03-28
The 2026 Big River Gravel Series will start with a bang! Hell of the Wind 5.0 will take place from Camp Liberty, the same venue as the Turkey Burner. The facility sits on 245 wooded acres and has enough cabins to sleep 275 riders. Although it is the same facility we use for the Turkey Burner, that is the only thing that will be the same. The routes will be completely different. Think spring classics. A day in hell if you will. The course can feel baron, leaving riders nowhere to hide. If we get lucky and it rains, be prepared to test your mental grit. After finishing, every participant will get a slice of Casey’s pizza and a beverage of their choice.
