What is a criterium?

A criterium, or crit, is a bike race consisting of several laps with tight turns, around a closed circuit. The length of each lap ranges from about .5 to 2 miles. Race length can be determined by a number of laps or total time, in which case the number of remaining laps is calculated as the race progresses.

Skills learned in the clinic:

• How to safely take a corner

• Bike-handling skills

• Positioning on the bike and in the pack

• Racing tactics and strategies

**New racers (Category 5) who attend this clinic will receive 50% off of the Stapleton Criterium scheduled July 28th, 2019.**

Please bring appropriate bike-riding gear (bike, helmet, etc.) as this will be taught on bikes.
