THE LOOK CRIT-CROSS AND BWR PARTY
For the finish of this year's BWR, we created a 1-mile Crit-Cross course that all riders will be confronted with. In celebration of this new feature, we have created THE LOOK CRIT-CROSS, which we will run on Friday night during the first day of the Expo. There will be a number of category races for all riders to join in. The entire North City will be a Beer Garden, but along the LOOK CRIT-CROSS course we will have a big party through the Lost Abbey Alley, where riders will have to endure the heckling, beer throwing and challenge of the chicanes we've created for this festive nighttime racing.
