USA CRITS FINALS AND CROSS VEGAS DOUBLE DOWN AT MANDALAY BAY!

With two of America’s top cylcing events planned during Interbike week in Las Vegas, it’s a perfect opportunity to recognize riders who can excel in both cyclocross and criterium racing.  Double Down at the Mandalay Bay is designed to do just that.

Double Down at Mandalay Bay recognizes those riders with a vacation prize to the top men and women riders who compete in both Cross Vegas, scheduled September 23rd, and the USA CRITS Finals, scheduled September 24th.

THE USA CRITS Finals is back for another round Thursday, September 24, 2009!

The USA CRITS Finals, now in its third year, will refine the elements that make this form of cycling the most exciting and popular – speed, color, and action – while adding elements that only Las Vegas can provide – the glitz and glamour – to create America’s greatest cycling spectacle. The USA CRITS Finals is the grand finale of the 2009 USA CRITS National Series and will be held at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, near Interbike’s home at the Sands Convention Center.

The event will feature the Men’s and Women’s Finals. For Interbike exhibitors, an Industry Cup Challenge will be in the middle of all the action, and amateur races will kick off the night’s festivities with a Amateur Men Category 2/3 invitation Category 4 race and a Masters 35+ race.

The 30k Cat 2/3 race will start at 5:30pm and the 30k Masters race at 6:15pm. Then the action heats up in the desert as the 40k Pro-Women’s race will be at 7:20 P.M., the 40k Industry Cup at 8:15pm., and the 60k Pro-Men will race at 9:30 P.M. The event will feature a fast and technical 1-kilometer course held at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.
