2006 Stars 'n' Stripes National
The 2006 edition of the Stars 'n' Stripes National in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was a race that featured some great racing action courtesy of South Park's legendary course and riders going for it all. In addition to the normal racing action, the weekend also featured the last two UCI Continental qualifying rounds. This also made for some heated battles among the Junior and Elite Mens and Womens classes.
The first round of pictures you will see here are just some of our
favorites from Elite/UCI Practice on Friday and Saturday.
