The full name of the event was the Dr. Feelgood Star-Spangled Classic Criterium. It’s a long name to go along with a long, hot day of road bike racing. Starting at 8 am Sunday morning with racing events lasting until almost 6 pm, this was the ultimate in criterium events. Most criterium events in central [...]
