Last night was the 3rd installment of the Red Hook Crit. I missed last year’s race – think (know actually) I was avoiding the rain. There seems to be a lot of momentum behind this race – reaching some middle ground between an alley cat race
- at night, no official class groups, roads only semi closed, location
and official event
- labeled unsanctioned not an alley cat, well planned, pre race meeting, rules requiring helmets, people with flags and reflective gear to control traffic, started on time.
Lots of press this year, big name sponsors. I can totally see this becoming a fully sanctioned race, thought it would probably take some work to keep the format the same, particularly the late night start. I think the bicycle film fest crew were working on doing a documentary about the race. so i would expect a bunch of press on the race.
