March 22, 2004  – The second annual Joe Hailey Memorial Stage Race is run in honour and recognition of longtime local racer Joe Hailey who died tragically as a result of injuries sustained in a crash during a road race in March 2002. This stage race will be an omnium points event. Riders can enter one or all three stages but in order to be considered for the overall, a rider must start all three stages. Road Race and Crit will cost $20 each and $15 for the TT, or $40 for all three. If you do not have a series number, there is an additional $5 charge.
