Inside the Priority Health Grand Cycling Classic
Hundreds of cyclists, thousands of spectators and tons of fun! That is what last weekend’s Priority Health Grand Cycling Classic was all about…..the love of cycling. This week’s show takes you inside this event, which brought out thousands of people from around the region to take part in the festivities.
Over 200 men, women, professional and amateur cyclists participated in this 1.2 kilometer race that wound through the streets of downtown Grand Rapids. One of the highlights of the afternoon was the Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital Kids Race. The race was a chance for 250 kids ages 2-9 to take a stab at the course.
This week’s show covers all the racing action along with ways that you and your family can get more involved in the sport. Enjoy the show!
