Black Falcon Crit

Written by Boston Biker on Jun 27

Go race the dirty bird, Tuesday night.

Dear Boston,

There is a CRIT tomorrow night. It will be fun and challenging, a test of your speed and endurance. You should all come out to race/marshal/chill.

All bikes welcome, road bikes recommended.

LIGHTS and HELMET strongly recommended.

This is not a closed course, there is occasional truck/bus traffic and some rough spots in the road.

See you tomorrow night! (via)

Experience the most spectacular cycling weekend festival on the East Coast. Saturday, more than two hundred top professional racers, including Olympic cyclists and national champions, will descend on Government Center for high speed, fast-action racing. On Sunday, nearly 6,000 riders, young and old, beginner and experienced, will take to the streets for the Hub On Wheels citywide ride and festival to help raise money for a great cause.
Come join the fun. Take in the professional action on Saturday and be part of the fun on Sunday!


The Mayor’s Cup is 100% spectator-friendly entertainment. Tight packs of professional racers will sprint around the course and dive into sharp corners at high speeds to dazzle spectators. The Mayor’s Cup also features the first-of-its-kind mascot race and a not-so-fast kids race for kids ages 3-6!
