Collin Classic - McKinney, TX

June 9, 2007
8:00 amto2:00 pm

The 16th Collin Classic is a rural bicycle rally that will start and finish at the McKinney North High School.

The 22, 34, 47 and 55 mile routes are all single loop routes . We are traveling to the Northeast portion of Collin County in order to avoid the chip seal pavement associated with the roads in Northwestern Collin County. We even found miles of new asphalt. Worried about missing out on the big hill at the finish of our old routes? Not to worry. We have plenty of rolling hills on our new routes that will provide plenty of challenge.

Registration Fees
$20.00 through May 1, 2007
$25.00 through June 8, 2007
$30.00 on June 9, 2007
