Chicago GRIT

WHY RACE CHICAGO GRIT?
If you’re even reading this it’s because you like bikes, and you like to race. Criteriums (crits) are raced on short courses, typically less than a mile. While most local crits are raced in parking lots or obscure corners of the city no one knew existed, Chicago Grit crits are raced in the middle of town in the best communities in Chicagoland! Our communities are spectacular and work hard every year to host epic events.
