Only 3 weeks ago, when we heard PA was going green, we had the idea to pounce on promoting some racing & providing the opportunity for riders to safety have f...un and showcase their hard work. We are thrilled to share that today marked a successful return to racing do to the help of the racers & officials, thank you! You adapted to the unusual circumstances with creative mask solutions & raced your hearts out. We are thrilled to only have one incident all day (and it was an unfortunate fellow that crashed on his own, sorry ). Everyone’s flexibility made the day a safe & enjoyable return to racing! Please monitor BikeReg (https://www.bikereg.com/pottstown-bike-race1#Register ) for any updates regarding possible changes in mask criteria. We will be closely monitoring the situation on your behalf. We look forward to seeing you all on Saturday for race #2.... please remember to bring your number. . . . . . @picklejuice @pressurepositive @podiumsportsllc @ffwdwheels_usa @buzzyhelps @lactigo @affinitycycles @tetrabikecare @iamspecialized @jakroousa #sponsored #lactigo #lactigopowered #lactigostory #jakroo #jakroofast #jakroo_ownyourstyle #jakroousa #cycling #cyclinglife #squadgoals #squad #athlete #women #sports #training #fitness #fitnessmotivation #picklepower #iam1stphorm #1stphorm #legionofboom #1stphormathletesearch #bethe1 #wedothework #duespaid #moregirlsonbikes Pickle Juice Pro Cycling Team VibraCool and DuoTherm by Pain Care Labs

2020 Pickle Juice Race Series Update... Our previous post asked for suggestions as to how we can help to make everyone feel safe at the upcoming races. A recurr...ing theme was to remove day-of registration.... which would limit the lines and time spent at registration. Thanks for the input, we have officially REMOVED DAY-OF REGISTRATION! We will have multiple tables at registration to avoid groups & reduce lines. In addition, since you keep the same number for all 4 races, time at registration will be dramatically reduced after the first event! Pre-reg closes Friday at 7pm EST! You can register at the link below Thanks for the suggestion & see you all this weekend!

Racers where are you? The Pickle Juice Race Series are the ONLY crits on the entire Mid-Atlantic calendar for July. We understand people are concerned about cov...id-issues & we are too. That is why we are following all county and CDC recommendations. USAC has praised our model to resume racing again. If that is the issue, is there something we can do to ease your concerns? If not, is there something else that we are not addressing that is keeping you from registering? Please let us know your thoughts so we can increase registrations and insure we will be able to promote the remaining races in the series.

The promoters of the Pottstown Bike Race are excited to announce the promotion of 4 ADDITIONAL races this summer. See the information below on the Pickle Juice Race Series... a 4 race series in July (5th, 11th, 18th & 25th) at 350 South Lewis Road, Royersford, PA. Registration is open on BikeReg. See you in July!

We are dedicated to making racing happen but we need your help! The Pottstown Bike Race can’t function without the help of our amazing marshals. We are looking for marshals to help with the following times: 11:45am-2pm: races during that shift are masters 45+ & beginning of men 1/2/3 1:45-4pm: races during that shift are end of men 1/2/3, kids, & masters 35+ 3:45-6:15pm: races during that shift are cat 5 men and cat 3/4 men ... All marshals will receive a free t-shirt, gift bag valued at $20 & free entry if you are racing. Please email [email protected] to sign up. Thanks for helping keep the race safe and enjoyable for everyone!

Race update: due to the current situation we will be rescheduling the Pottstown Bike Race for later this summer. The postponement has been reflected on BikeReg and we will be sure to update the community and athletes as soon as we select a new date to race. We are dedicated to making this race happen and we look forward to seeing everyone later this summer.

We hope everyone is staying safe & healthy. We want to reassure everyone that the Pottstown Bike Race is still ON for June 6th. We are optimistic that everyone's social distancing discipline will pay off and we will be able to promote a safe and fun event. We are looking forward to rewarding the hard work and disciplined training of the riders as well as provide a fun event for the community. Stay healthy and we look forward to seeing you on June 6th.

Mark you calendars! We can’t wait to see you and your family/friends on Aug 2nd.
