The Red Hook Criterium No.8

Red Hook is strictly for the pros. Professional road racers, track specialists, bike messengers and urban cyclists from the world over are drawn to this premier competition. With well-oiled muscles and machines, each participant has eyes set fiercely upon the finish line, though it takes serious training, challenging levels of fitness and specialized gear to be part of the game. Fixed-gear track bicycles are compulsory, and so is the dexterity to maneuver through labyrinthine streets. All athletes must check in at 11am. Your first chance to qualify will be at 12:30pm and your last chance at 6pm. Men will circuit 24 laps through 30km and women 18 laps through 22.5km!
