Emerald graphic Race around campus Experienced bicycle racers from around the state and local novices will be shifting gears on campus Sunday during the second annual University Criterium. A criterium is a bicycle race held on a closed circuit course, where racers must complete a set number of laps. Sunday’s course is an 8-mile loop around the EMU, along Agate and University streets and 13th and 14th avenues. Three races are scheduled for the day-long event, sponsored by the University club sports program. Two will be limited to experienced and licensed bicycle racers. The third will be for beginners. Dave Combs, president of the University cycling team, is encouraging anyone who wants to try their hand — and legs — at the sport to enter the 8-mile, 10-lap novice race, scheduled to begin at noon. Cash and bicycle paraphanalia totalling $125 will be distributed among the first 14 finishers. Before the novice competition, bikers licensed in categories three and four will ride a 16-mile race The last race, and normally the most exciting spectator event, will begin at 1 p.m. when category one and two riders will race a 40-lap, 32-mile course. Categories are determined by the number of year's of bicycle competition. Category one and two riders generally are more exper ienced, averaging five or six years of competi tion. During the lower category race, cycling tactics, cornering ability and careful bike han dling will become key factors in winning. Criteriums are known for the high level of speed maintained throughout the race. On the University course Sunday, category one and two riders will average between 25 and 30 mph, slowing only marginally to round the four right-angle corners along the course. Because of the closed-course nature of the races, criteriums are the most popular specta tor events in cycling. The best postions to view the race is at the corners, where the racers’ skill is often most apparent, or at the start/fin ish line where all the sprints take place. The start/finish of Sunday’s race is located on 14th Avenue, beside the covered tennis courts. For more information on the races, contact the University cycling team through the club sports program in the basement of the EMU.
