Atlantic Conference visits Navy base

The third weekend of racing in the Atlantic Coast Cycling Conference took riders to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis Maryland. Saturday’s criterium is by far the most technically challenging course of the season. The course, which has been used for over ten years, is made famous by its downhill, 180-degree, “widow maker turn.” It is also made difficult by cold winds that whip off the Chesapeake Bay.
