The Crit

Criterium racing would have to be the most fan-friendly and exciting cycling, the bunch flying around a short, sharp circuit as they wait for the bell lap.

Then it’s on as they jostle for position before launching that final all-or-nothing sprint for glory. The Bowral Classic Crit will offer riders and spectators the most thrilling cycling racing the Southern Highlands has ever seen and is sure to be one of the major highlights of event weekend.
