4th of July Crit!

It's that time of year again, 100 deg temps today, and the 4th is right around the corner. For the last two years, we have put on what many regard as one of the best crits in MN. We took the race over from Mr Andy Dahl, one of the organizers of the amazing Nature Valley Grand Prix. Andy did an incredible job of starting the race and building support and ridership. It's something Jake and I do not take lightly, and we try to run as professional of a race as we can. Things like on staff paramedics, free neutral support, free and easily accessible water and fruit for racers. I'm even flying in our experienced pace car driver Brandon from California! He's probably driven more miles around downtown Northfield and anyone ever, literally hundreds of miles around the course over the years.

While Jake and I do what we can, we really depend on volunteers day of for help running the race. At Northfield, the biggest challenge has always been find people willing to be corner marshals. The race has 8 corners, all of which need to be staffed all day with competent people from 9am to 6 pm. This is a big role to fill. If you're coming down to watch, please consider volunteering. We really need your help to continue to make this race a success. This is a race that is put on for the community at large, Jake and I don't make any money and spend a lot of our time to put it on. Please consider helping out if you can, even if it's for an hour or two. We also need help at the registration booth. This is a crucial point for getting the race running smoothly, and we really could use some good people to help us out.

Here's the race flier with a list of race times and events.
If you are available for volunteering, please contact Jake of I for details. If you want to race, come on down, preregistration is here. If you just want to watch, bring the family and enjoy the best that small town MN racing has to offer. See you there.
