2013 Bethel Spring Series
The Bethel Spring Series returns to the Francis J Clarke Circle for seven Sundays in March and April 2013, held under the auspices of USA Cycling, the national cycling federation. This Series has become the cornerstone spring event for many racers in the New England area, drawing folks from as far away as Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and occasional guests from Canada and points south like Pennsylvania or Virginia.
The race uses the Francis J Clarke Circle for its course, traveling in a clockwise direction. We ask for everyone's safety that vehicles drive in a clockwise direction when driving on the loop during the Sunday races.
A Bethel Police Officer will be on hand to help handle traffic and radio equipped marshals will be on the course.
