Chico Airport Practice Criterium this Sunday.......

Hi Everyone! Okay, right now we are planning on holding an Airport Practice Criterium on Sunday(March 8th) at 1:30pm. Registration will open at the usual spot on Convair Avenue at 1:15pm. The Category "A" group will go 50 minutes PLUS 3 laps. The Category "B" group will go 45 minutes PLUS 3 laps. Prime laps - we will probably do a few of those during the event, but just for practice......and to get use to the feel of them. Again this is just a practice event, so no big whoop. RAIN or WET PAVEMENT cancels.

ALL donations to this Practice Criterium will be given to the Chico Cyclists Care Fund as the Tour de Ed is that morning at 10AM(a great warm-up for the afternoon's Crit!!).

The Tuesday Night Airport Criterium Series is scheduled to begin again on Tuesday, March 10th at about 6pmish. The Time Change happens on Sunday, March 8th - Spring forward One Hour - so hoping to have just enough daylight out there to run the Crits.

A HUGE thank you goes out to Team Chico and PowerBar for providing some PowerBar products to give out as Primes at this year's Airport Criterium events!

The map of the Airport Criterium short-course is here(we'll also be running the long-course Crits on selected Tuesday night and Saturday/Sunday Criterium races):
