Race Details

The 2008 event has yet to be structured but will, in all likelihood, be similar to prior years.  While courses may change, you might find the 2007 description to be helpful.

This year the Thursday criterium will be an optional race for the Open and Masters riders and will not count towards GC standings. Participation for Open and Masters is not mandatory but will give everyone the opportunity to race all four courses and enjoy the maximum cycling experience.

An outline of the 2007 schedule is as follows. A copy of the 2007 Race Rules will be available for downloading here in September but for now you can see the 2006 rules from the home page.
