MISSION CRIT 2016 Apr 25, 2016 Categories: MASH Frames 0 Comment Trackbike criterium’s are fast becoming the premier race format in urban cycling, eclipsing alleycats as the preferred proving ground for young racers. As racing shifts from unsanctioned street races to well organized and supported criterium’s it is comforting to be a part of San Francisco’s own homegrown race. The Mission Crit just closed out their 3rd successful race in as many years right in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District. Starting in a parking lot with a handful of die hard racers and fans, the Mission Crit has grown to attract high level racers from across the United States and around the world.
