station. This starts the counter-clockwise lap traveling on WC28 (Washington County Road) for 4 miles. Very fast downhill left-hand turn onto WC21 for 7.7 miles. This road includes a .5 mile climb. As pavement comes to an end on WC21 riders will take another left-hand turn onto WC215 for 2 miles. This includes the 1.2 mile long “Hell’s Kitchen” climb. Riders will then take a left-hand turn onto HWY 265 towards Hogeye and back onto WC28 for a few miles toward the finish (at the New Sulphur family church- same finish as last year). Riders can then turn around and ride back to the parking lot (about 2-3 miles from finish). Please be cautious of traffic. We will have police on site but the roads are open for traffic. Team Time Trial details: Starting from the church/parking lot the teams will go down highway 265 and head south on the course to highway 217 (Strickler Rd). The course is roughly 7 miles one way finishing on Strickler Rd, there will be a gravel lot the teams can wait at on Strickler Rd for their riders to finish. Therefore it is advised that team cars drop off their riders at the abonded church for the start and drive down to the finish line so riders do not have to ride back on the highway. Map of criterium Directions: (from campus) N on Garland avenue, slight right onto Garland avenue. Turn left onto W North street, slight right again onto Garland avenue. Left onto W Deane street. Right onto N Porter road. Continue onto Mt. Comfort road. Slight right onto Co Rd. 706/N Hughmount Rd. The star is the start/finish.

There will be primes for the crit! *We will not have host housing available. However there are a large amount of hotels around the university.
