City of Lakes Cycling Club And Cyclesmith are excited to be able to collaborate to bring you two great short track series in Dartmouth & Halifax, Nova Scotia!
Short Track “racing” is a great way for kids and adults alike to build technical skills and endurance for future cycling events and have an opportunity to try competition. Not sure racing is your thing, sign-up for the series to keep active, have fun and meet other cyclists in your community!
Racing will take place on Mondays from May to the end of June at Seaview / Africville Lookoff Park in Halifax and on Tuesdays from the end of May to the end of July at Shubie Park in Dartmouth.
