Bicycle Coalition Youth Cycling’s (BCYC) June 2nd Criterium Race in West Fairmount Park closed out the athletes’ spring Core season and welcomed new and returning All Stars to the summer teams. Friends and family of BCYC gathered on the center lawn of the 1/2 mile Sweetbriar Loop to cheer our teams through their (Cat C) 20-, (Cat B) 30-, and (Cat A) 40-minute battles to complete as many laps as possible before the final bell.
For anyone who hasn’t spectated a Crit before, they’re great races to catch because you have multiple opportunities to watch the athletes speed by, and it’s incredibly impressive to see them keep up and intensify their efforts for the duration of the race (20 minutes in the sun at full effort is a long time, y’all!).
After the races wrapped, everyone gathered for lunch from team sponsor District Taco, then a podium ceremony recognizing the top three athletes from each Cat and SLA Beeber as the team with the most collective points this season. Roxborough came in 2nd in the total team points competition, which is an awesome achievement for a first year team! Check out the full gallery of photos from the day here.
