Boise’s Big Bike Race

Join us for the exciting transformation of Boise’s downtown streets, when The Twilight Criterium bring some of the fastest bike racers to town. The format for the July 13 event is deceptively simple: racers make repeat laps around downtown, going as fast as possible, until the clock runs out. And with all of the great outdoor seating available at downtown restaurants, it’s a great way to enjoy the racing spectacle. Local bike racing legend Kristin Armstrong will once again inspire kids on bikes with her kids-only race, happening earlier in the day. New this year, a couple of bold-face names in the bike racing world will bring a new event to town for the weekend: George Hincapie, the Tour de France veteran, will debut his Hincapie Gran Fondo, a long-distance bike ride in Boise on July 14. Sign up to ride with George and his buddy Lance Armstrong (no relation to Kristin), who is also planning on attending.
