This weekend is Twilight in Athens, GA. Founded in 1980 by Gene Dixon, the Athens Twilight Criterium was the first nighttime race in the United States in over 60 years. What began as one race with 40 competitors has since grown to offer eight separate race classes and 150 cyclists competing in the main event, the men’s criterium, a 60-km race around downtown Athens.
What’s exciting to me is that the Locos Cycling Team will be racing this weekend at Twilight and I hope we can count on your support to come out and cheer them on to victory. There are activities scheduled all weekend for the young and old alike so I hope to see you out there!
