Sierra Point parkway and the Brisbane City marina will once again reverberate with the sounds of speed and competition as the Brisbane Criterium roars into the bay area on Sunday July 15th. Long the home of the legendary “Night Race” cyclocross event, the Sierra Point circuit offers 5 corners and plenty of speed over its 0.4 mile loop. Racers in eleven different categories face a flurry of primes and prizes throughout the day with the first race kicking off at 8:00am and continuing until the Pro1/2 Men take the start at 4:30pm.
Peninsula Velo, promoters of the event, set out to build a classic neighborhood race that harkens back to the days of old – pure street racing on a great course with maximum cash on offer, great spectating and lots of opportunities to race, cheer, or simply support local racing. Athletes will compete for over $1700 in cash and prizes across all categories. Event entry is only $35 online via BikeReg.com, or $50 on site the day of, and races are arranged so that most competitors will have the option of an additional race (or two) for only $15 each.
