SPEED WEEK RACE #1
USA Crits Series kicks off with a race like no other, Athens Twilight. The first Athens Twilight race took place in 1980, no wonder everyone in town knows about this event! The most exciting aspect of racing in Athens is without a doubt the crowds. Unlike other USA Crits races, the course in Athens is lined entirely with metal barricades on both sides of the road. And for good reason, to keep the riders safe from the 30,000 college kids from the University of GA, happy Terrapin drinking rednecks and other bicycle racing enthusiasts that surround every inch of the course.
