Cavalier Criterium

USA Cycling Permit #10675

Come out to Charlottesville, VA for the Cavalier Crit!

The course is an epic ¾ mi loop around Scott Stadium. You might have seen a video and Strava segment, but the course just got a major upgrade with the partial closure of Alderman and Whitehead Rd. Route Map  The race will run clockwise, with a speedy flat sprint to the finish. The two-way section on the course will have appropriate barricades to keep riders safe.

All USAC mass start rules apply. All riders are required to wear helmets when on their bike while racing or not, failure to do so can result in disqualification.

• Pit/Free Laps: In the event of a recognized mishap (flat tire, broken essential component, or crash) riders may be granted a free lap. The pit is located near the start/finish line. Riders have one lap to make it to the pit and resume racing. Riders must supply their equipment in the pit. Riders may cut the course to make it to the pit.
• Pulled/Lapped Rider Policy: Because of the technical nature of this course the fields may break up quickly. If you are dropped and pose a danger to riders that are or will lap you then you will be pulled by the officials. Riders are not guaranteed a minimum number of laps and can be pulled at any time if they are out of contention. Please do not argue with the officials about their decision, their jobs are hard enough. If you find yourself lapped the best thing to do is to remain out of the way of passing riders as best as possible.
