Bike Racing Starts Feb. 16

February 7, 2025

The Virgin Islands Cycling Federation will kick off its 2025 competitive season with a 9-mile time trial on Sunday, Feb. 16 at 7 a.m. The point-to-point course will begin at the Divi Hotel on St Croix’s east end and finish at the entrance pillars to Ha’Penny Beach.

In a time trial format, each rider is sent off at one-minute intervals, with the fastest rider starting in the ultimate position. In this format, also known as the Race Against the Clock, each cyclist will race alone as no drafting is permitted.

As in all VICF events, helmets must be worn. Time trial bicycles and road bicycles with aerobars will be permitted. There will be five racing categories: Elite, Expert, Sport, Masters (50+) and Juniors (under 18). Medals will be awarded to the top three finishers in each division.

Race-day registration will be open from 6am to 6:45am. $10 for VICF members, $15 for non members. For more information about cycling in the VI, please call 340-643-5050.
