Race Across Queen Isabella Causeway:  The night race is the official kick-off to the annual Iron Horse Sunset Memorial Parade which features hundreds of motorcycles parading across the Causeway and traveling the entire length of the Island to the Convention Center. Cyclists line up on the  Island and cross the Causeway twice before racing down the main boulevard of the Island for the finish.  Thousands of spectators line the parade route to watch the motorcycles roar by and this year they will be treated to our 4th exciting bicycle race to the finish line.  The Causeway is normally closed to bicycle traffic, so take advantage of this great opportunity to show what you are made of!
