Giving Tuesday with Chainbuster!

Now through Sunday, December 4, anyone can be able to order the newly designed official Chainbuster-Eliel presented by Childre Nissan Chainbuster Rose Jersey.

Designed by our own Tina Morris, the team jersey honors our beloved Teresa Rose, and the ladies on the Chainbuster-Eliel team decided it should be offered to everyone. Their request is that you represent this jersey as Teresa would have. Always be polite and courteous. Remember to smile through it all. Give it everything you have!

AND for each jersey purchase, you will get a free registration coupon for one regular season race (endurance or gravel) in 2023!

All profit from jersey sales will be donated to organizations whose goal is to get more girls on bikes! #RideLikeTheRose

I started keeping a spreadsheet with a list of events I might like to ride in about 5 years ago. 3 years ago I decided to share it as a dropbox file to the facebook group Alabama Cycling Calendar. I finally got around to putting this into a website format to share with those who are not on Facebook.

This group is to raise awareness of all cycling events in and around Alabama, in the hopes that we can get more folks coming out and participating in the events. I hope that this will be a great resource for cyclists to plan as well as for organizers to coordinate dates. PLEASE SUPPORT THE FOLKS THAT ARE ORGANIZING THESE EVENTS FOR YOU, let’s keep our cycling scene growing!

Mountain Bike events in Red, Road Events in Black, Gravel in Purple and Cross in Green.
