The race day consisted of five races ranging from beginner to advanced courses. Milligan Cycling Coach Zack Nave spoke with News Channel 11 about the Cycling Classic.

“I think it’s great for the team. But to show off our area, our home court, you know, it’s home court advantage. It’s the same thing as basketball or football. You got a home field, and you get to show people where you ride and train and then take it to them on your home roads.”

As the Buffs prepare for nationals, they are at the top of their conference.
