March 28, 2006 – Registration has now opened for the 2006 Women’s Prestige Cycling Series. The 2006 Series will include three of North America’s most prestigious stage races:

-June 14 — 18 : Nature Valley Grand Prix
-July 24 — 30 : International Tour de Toona
-September 7 — 10 : CD&P Bermuda Grand Prix

The Women’s Prestige Cycling Series has proven to be exceptionally popular with women’s teams. It is a focus for the top US professionals, attracting teams like Webcor Platinum, Colavita Cooking Light, Victory Brewing and TEAm Lipton. The Series has also provided many regional teams with the opportunity to take their racing to the national level. And each year composite teams form specifically to be part of the Series.

In addition to the opportunity to showcase their sport in this women-only Series, many of the participating teams are motivated by the Series’ “brass ring”: a subsidized trip to the Bermuda Grand Prix. Each year, the top ten teams following the International Tour de Toona receive free housing and a $2,000 travel grant to attend this premier race in one of the most popular vacation destinations in the World.
