Fun, low-pressure off-road racing every Thursday night in July and the series begins tonight!
This is not a traditional bike race. For the Alpine Shop Short Track Dirt Crit, the actual race length is determined by a total time. In the case of the A level race, the competitors race for 40 minutes plus one lap. The B and C races are 30 minutes and 15 minutes respectively, both with one lap added on to determine the winner. Prizes are awarded for top 3 in each category every night. The A race – featuring Category 1 riders (semi-pros and experts) – awards cash prizes both for this night and for the entire series. The B race – for Category 2 cyclists (sport and intermediate-level riders) – features different gear and clothing awards each night as does the C race for beginners and juniors.
Every level rider is welcome. Races feature both men and women. This is a great way to stay in shape while escaping the torrid heat of a typical summer afternoon.
All racers are welcome to partake in some post-race adult beverages (provided they’re 21 or older) and barbecue thanks to Lone Wolf Coffee Company and O’Fallon Brewery.
Help us make St. Louis one of the top outdoor recreation cities in the nation. You can start by joining us tonight.
