Please see Practice Crit page for complete information. In 2025, 6 criteriums are scheduled:
May 20, June 3, June 17, July 1, July 15 and August 12.
A season pass (new for 2025) for Adults is $60 or $15 per event. Juniors will be $10 per event. These  are USA Cycling (USAC) sanctioned training events so USAC licenses are not required. (This is a change from prior years.) Junior racers are welcome and encouraged, but parents or guardians must approve the Juniors participation. If Junior racers are coming with a coach or friend instead of a parent or guardian, please bring a signed registration form with you.

Light, rolling hills with beautiful views by the lake. The 35-mile (E/M) route goes out to Kill Kare State Park (bring park pass or money in case groups goes into park) and returns while the 50-mile (M) route continues on to Swanton and back. Both rides can break for food at St. Albans Bay.

For those coming from the Burlington area, we suggest carpooling at the Colchester Park and Ride at Exit 17 off I-89 or perhaps meeting at UVM or Veterans Memorial Park in South Burlington.
