The ladies of GHS Every Woman Cycling have started their 2011 Racing Season in the dirt at Charlotte Mountain Bike’s Winter Short Track Series at Renaissance Park in Charlotte, NC. Jackie Batson leads the beginner women’s field with 4th, 1st, & 1st in the first three races of this 5 race series. Nikki Zimmerman, while missing the first race, has placed 3rd and 2nd respectively.

The race consists of a 1 mile loop the competitors race for a period of time (30-40 minutes).  It covers pavement, single track, fire roads, and fields.

Jackie & Nikki will finish up the series over the next two weekends. Come out and cheer them on!!
