Sattley District TT Course Paved

Good news for our district, as our time trial course up in Sattley is finally being paved after all these years. The course has been slowly deteriorating for some time now, having major stress cracks. The pavement project goes from Highway 49 to the Plumas county line. After the county line, the road improves.

Great news and motivation for next year.

Kyle’s next race will be the Elite National championships, in Tuscaloosa Alabama, August 22, where he will be competing in the 23 and Under Elites category.
