Memorial Park Criterium Is Back

The Memorial Park Criterium series is back and running through August 31st.  Let's hope it isn't rained out like the Bear Creek Crit series was this last May.  I wrote about the Memorial Crit Series two years ago.  It is a nice night out in the park, enjoy.

Bear Creek Crit

bike racing, bear creek crit, criterium, houston, texas


On Wednesdays from the middle of April through May every year the Northwest Cycling Club hosts a criterium in Bear Creek Park.  This is a .8 mile course.  The races start at 5:30 with Cat 4 &5's and finish with P,1,2,3's starting an hour race at 7:00 PM.

The loop is in the middle of the park on Sullens Way.  That is important to note because Bear Creek is a big park and first hand experience says you can spend a good chunk of time circling around without finding it- middle of park on Sullens Way folks!

There is a nightly purse and primes as well as a series award for category winners.  The series doesn't have a web page but they update their Facebook page frequently.

On a nice Spring night you can't beat picnicking in the park while hearing this great sound!
