A criterium is a bicycle race conducted on a short course over roads that have been closed to traffic, usually consisting of multiple laps on a winding, looped track.  But that is just the pared down definition. Seeing a criterium, or “crit,” in real life is one of the most exciting spectator sports there is!

This criterium takes place in the hip, spectator-friendly Grove of St Louis.  Breweries and restaurants line the course, making sure you’ll have just as much fun watching as you will racing.
