TOP is a summer-long series providing racing, training, and developmental opportunities to Club members. The races are primarily for Club members but non-members are welcome to participate. These are laid-back, low-key events for training, enjoyment, and local bragging rights. The races and time trials are held in and around the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
The following is the schedule for the 2006 season. However, due to conflicts with other activities in the valley, this schedule is subject to frequent revisions—please check back to confirm each event. Refer any questions to Tom Collier, TOP Director.
