will absolutely rock Victoria Park today - races start at 2pm! A few things to remember:

1. Construction is CRAZY so please leave yourself plenty of time to travel today. Also, this is a downtown crit so parking will also be a bit time consuming - again plan accordingly so you don't have any pre-race panic!

2. Registration opens at 1pm and is located inside the front doors of the Victoria Park Pavilion at 80 Schneider
Avenue, Kitchener. Follow the path over the bridge from the Start/Finish Line on Jubilee Drive - it is the big building by the playground.

3. The weather is AMAZING but sunny so pack your hat and sunscreen.

4. The race course is a CLOSED course which is wonderful for the racers but also means you cannot pre-ride. Be mindful of the racers!!

5. McCabes will be selling oodles of food items for racers & spectators plus SmileTiger will have a booth with samples and cold brew plus there is also a foodtruck for your eating pleasure!

Master 1 Men, you have your own race!!!!! Make sure you are ready for a 4:10pm start on Friday and be ready to put it all on the line for the Master 1 Men's podium prizes!

Have you heard the news?! CW's SpeedWeekend has a separate race for MASTER 1 MEN - separate race time scheduled just for you at both the Kitchener Twilight Grand Prix on July 28th and at the Cambridge Fieldstone Criterium on July 29th! Is that awesome or what?!

New TechGuide has been on the website for awhile but just in case please note that the Master 1 Men will race at 4:10pm on both Friday and Saturday!!

See you there - register now!!
