Nicole Reinhart Women's Classic Returns to T-Town Featuring National Champions and International Talent

TREXLERTOWN, PA — Some of the top women's track cyclists in North America and beyond will take center stage Friday night when the Valley Preferred Cycling Center hosts the annual Nicole Reinhart Women's Classic as part of its Friday Nights Under the Lights series.

Named in honor of Nicole Reinhart, one of the most accomplished and beloved riders in T-Town history who passed away in a tragic accident in 2000, the event continues to celebrate excellence in women's cycling while showcasing the sport's rising stars and established champions.

Leading the field is Colleen Gulick of Team Skyline. The Long Beach, California rider is one of the most decorated athletes expected to compete this season. Gulick was a member of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Long Team, a Nations Cup Madison champion, a Pan American Games medalist, and a nine-time national champion. She enters the event following a victory in Friday night's Women's Scratch Race at T-Town.

Fans will also have the opportunity to cheer for hometown favorite Reagen Pattishall of Breinigsville, Pennsylvania. Pattishall has become one of America's brightest young track cycling stars, earning multiple Junior National Championships, a Pan American Championship title, and selection to the USA Cycling National Team. The former T-Town Rider of the Year captured the Women's American Tempo event last week and will look to continue her strong form in front of a hometown crowd.

Joining the international field will be Caitlin Kelly from New Zealand, representing G-Force Performance. Kelly brings international racing experience and will add another layer of competition to a field that continues to attract riders from across the globe to the Lehigh Valley.

"The Nicole Reinhart Women's Classic has become one of the most important nights of the season," said Gary Thornton. "Nicole's legacy continues to inspire generations of athletes, and this event showcases exactly what made her special—talent, determination, sportsmanship, and a passion for racing. We're excited to welcome some of the best women cyclists in the sport back to T-Town."

In addition to the featured women's events, fans can expect a full evening of elite track racing, family-friendly entertainment, bounce houses, food vendors, and opportunities to meet athletes competing at the highest levels of the sport.

The Nicole Reinhart Women's Classic is part of the Valley Preferred Cycling Center's historic 50th Anniversary Season, celebrating five decades of world-class racing in the Lehigh Valley.
