Check out the new Driveway Crit Series
For those of you who crave the competition at the Driveway Criterium Series, this year’s version will offer a few new twists.
Andrew Willis and his company, Holland Racing, LLC have taken over the series for 2009. Some changes this year include. …
At 5:30 p.m. each Thursday, Austin’s Progress Coffee will sponsor a free ride where people who want to ride with no traffic can take a few laps without exhausting their legs.
Mellow Johnny’s bike shop will offer a commuter instruction class each Thursday at 6 p.m., covering topics such as how to ride in traffic and how to get out of town safely.
The first Thursday of every month will be Ladies Night, hosted by Team Hotel San Jose. This is a great chance to learn more about criterium racing and practice on a closed course with large sweeping turns.
The Driveway Crits are also going to be a canned food drive for the Capital Area Food Bank. Riders will get discounted entry fees when they bring a can of food for the food bank!
The series will run, every Thursday, from March 12 to October 22 this year.
It sounds like Willis and company are trying to broaden the appeal of the series by offering events and programs for people who don’t really race. It should be great time, and I’m looking forward to making it out to a couple of Thursday nights.
