XPEL Criterium
San Antonio Fit Fest will also present the XPEL criterium race during the FitFest weekend. The XPEL Criterium is the rollercoaster of road racing and is one of the fastest and most fun forms of bike racing. Riders scream around a closed course that is .75 of a mile long for 30 minutes. As a rider, you must have a certain set of skills to navigate a criterium. You must have the ability to corner rapidly and sharply, with as little touching of your fellow riders as possible, holding your line on the road. To claim the best position, you must possess pristine ability to decide to sprint at perfectly timed opportunities in order to make a successful attack. The winner of the race is the first person to cross the finish without having been lapped.
