Gateway Cup cycling event concludes in Florissant with Labor Day weekend racing

The Gateway Cup cycling event concluded in Florissant on September 7, 2026, marking the end of the Labor Day weekend competition. Cyclists experienced a cooldown in temperatures, which provided more favorable conditions for the final day of racing compared to the intense heat earlier in the weekend. Jason Roche noted that the 10-degree decrease in temperature improved racing conditions, as competitors dealt with temperatures in the 90s rather than 105 degrees. Participants expressed support for the event, which continues to grow in size and remains a recognized Labor Day tradition for the local community. Organizers and attendees are already looking ahead to the return of the event next year. The competition draws a mix of local and national cycling enthusiasts to the area annually.
