Event number 6 of the season long Michigan Challenge Road Racing Series (www.mbra.org) was the Sunrise Sports Allen Park Criterium located in Allen Park, Michigan.
Held on a 1km circuit through an office park, the Sunrise Sports Allen Park Criterium is your straightforward, bread and butter, office park criterium. The staple of American road racing! The type of race EVERYONE who has raced a bike in the US knows like the back of their hand.
With the first race starting at 830am with the Men's Category 5 field, until 300pm with the start of the Men's Pro/1/2 Category field, a whole day of racing action was on deck.
In each category the racing was fast! The forgiving turns and long, open straight sections made it difficult for riders to break-away from the pack, but that didn't stop many from trying. Throw in the boat load of merchandise primes which were provided by our sponsors, especially Sunrise Sports (www.sunrisesports.com), Jittery Joe's Coffee Roasting Company (www.thebeanteam.com), Red Bull (www.redbull.com), Carb-Boom (www.carbboom.com), Midwest Cycling Group (www.midwestcyclinggroup.com) and Ritchey Bicycle Components (www.ritcheylogic.com) and racers were attacking LEFT, RIGHT and CENTER throughout each race!
In the end total riders competing numbered 300+. As an added bonus, the race was graced with the participation of US bicycle racing legend and 9 time finisher of the Tour de France, Frankie Andreu, who lives in nearby Dearborn, MI. Frankie came to the race with his whole family. In the kids race, Frankie's three children all participated, with the youngest being the first finisher in the kids "tricycle" category!
