Update: WMBA of COS Halloween Crit photos

The Women’s Mountain Bike Association of Colorado Springs is having their 2nd annual Halloween Costume Criterium tomorrow (Saturday). This year it will be at the SRM Service Center at 720 West Monument St. Costumes and helmets are required to ride in the criterium.

Registration begins at 3:30pm with the race starting at 4:20pm. The course circles around SRM which includes hitting some dirt, so mountain or cyclocross tires are recommended. Be prepared to participate in obstacles and other silly adventures. This event is open to everyone. If riding in a costume isn’t for you, come to cheer on the racers.

A special Costume Crit for the kids will be organized in the parking lot at 5:00pm, so make sure the little ones have their bikes and trikes too. There ill be creepy, crawly goody bags and some gooey obstacles for all the kids too!
