Blaine (August 14, 2008) – The National Sports Center Velodrome announced that
it will host the 2nd Annual Peace Coffee 2-Day Grind – showcasing team cycling from the
Golden Age of Cycling.
The Peace Coffee 2-Day Grind combines strength, agility and teamwork in an
exciting series of races pitting 2-person teams in sprints, endurance races and the
popular Madison - named for its birthplace, Madison Square Garden. During
Madison races, both members of the team circle the track, one member racing and
one member riding slowly – resting at the top of the track. When the first rider tires,
the second rider swoops down and is thrown into the race by his teammate.
The Peace Coffee 2-Day Grind begins on Friday, August 29 at 7:00 PM and
continues through Saturday evening, August 30. Admission is free to all sessions.
$1200 in prizes will be awarded.
