from Killeen Daily Herald 

Copperas Cove will be hosting the State Championship Bike Race in conjunction with The Racing Post, a magazine based in the Dallas/Fort Worth area for bicycle enthusiasts.

The event will attract an estimated 500 cyclists, including many professionals at varying levels, Davis said. Still in the planning stages, the race will be held from June 9-10.

The bicycle course begins at the Copperas Cove Civic Center and makes a 33-mile loop to Topsey, but riders can choose from three routes measuring 30 miles, 50 miles or 118 miles, Davis said.

A similar statewide bicycle race was held in Copperas Cove in October, and the chamber is hoping the event will expand into a renowned attraction for the city.

Bike enthusiasts are encouraged to volunteer to help drive lead and trail vehicles and set up the course. Copperas Cove’s courses are known for being clean and well-marked, Davis said, but volunteers are needed to maintain the city’s reputation.
