Speed of Light used to be a weekly free mountain bike race at the Vasa Pathway in Traverse City.

This year, the Speed of Light Ride is a four-week, four-stage homage to the Vuelta!

Why We Need Speed of Light

SOL is meant to be a free, accessible to kind of race without having to travel or cough up entry fees. It’s meant to be competitive while being good-natured, inclusive and fun. You might race other people, but the real goal is to improve your own time and your own fitness. It’s also a great way to meet other riders in the area.

The Rules

Riders can put in a time any time, any day of the week until Sunday at 4am.

This is the route. (It’s the one with Madeleine’s)
