Senior Games have been canceled by Miami Dade County due to funding issues.
There are easy courses, as well as difficult courses, that’s the way cycling is. Now you are competing to qualify to
the State Championships. Does not make any difference at this time if you beat a record or not, as long as you are within
top five you will go to the State Championships.
