Hub Racing is proud to present the 4th annual City Bikes RFK Criterium, Sunday August 6th 2006 on the Grand Prix course at RFK Stadium. The City Bikes RKF Criterium remains Washington DC’s only US Cycling Federation sanctioned event. This year, Hub Racing's sponsors, including Timbuk2 Messenger Bags, Cannondale, and Asylum Bar and Lounge, have raised the stakes by offering a $5000 Women’s Challenge for the nation’s top female cyclists who are coming to DC to compete.

Races begin at 8AM with men's and women's amateur bike races and continue hourly until the marquee Women’s Challenge goes off at 4PM. There will be a Fun Ride hosted by the Washington Area Bicycle Association at 1:30PM so spectators are encouraged to bring their bikes and helmets to take a spin on the race course!

The City Bikes RFK Criterium benefits the Doug Gordon Memorial Easter Seals Fund. The Doug Gordon Memorial Fund is a scholarship program that sends children with disabilities to the Easter Seals Sno-Mo Camp Program. Camp Sno-Mo is an inclusive camping program that partners the Boy Scouts with children who have physical and cognitive disabilities.

Hub Racing is Washington DC's only professional woman's cycling team. In 2005 they finished in the top 20 in the USA Cycling National Calender Series. Hub Racing is captained by Sheba Farrin, the most victorious woman cyclist in the Mid Atlantic region in the last decade, and features Brooke O'Connor who will be defending two victories from last years City Bikes RFK Criterium: Women's Pro and Masters. The last weekend in July 2006, Hub Racing's Becky Broeder enjoyed victories at both the Snowbowl Hill Climb Championships and the Waputki Road Race.
