Pacific Sunset Velo welcomes everyone back to Ontario for their first race of the year, the Ontario Dare to Race Ray “Doc” Hess Memorial Criterium. The race is held on a .8 mile course with a slight upward grade on the backside and a fast downward grade through the start/finish line and finishing sprint.
The event remembers Ray “Doc” Hess, who passed away at the age of 82 on January 7, 2018. Hess, who was a chiropractor and known as “Doc”, was a regular at Southern California bike races where he worked for many years as a USA Cycling official alongside his wife of 49 years, Nancy.
The Ontario Dare to Race Ray “Doc” Hess Memorial Criterium will have a full day of racing with all categories including Cat 5, Cat 4, Cat 3 and Masters, with the final race of the day, the Pro 1/2/3.
Race Promoters Ray and Irma Moreno said, “We need all of your support to make our first event a success. Let’s all share this event together and enjoy a great day of racing. Bring your family and friends and support your favorite rider and teams. Our snack bar will be open all day for those that get hungry. Thank you and we will see you Sunday, February 16, 2020.”
