The relatively challenging course provides a fantastic introduction to the discipline of criterium racing for new racers and a great way to ease back into racing for the more experienced riders. With 11.2 mile of roads in the surrounding area, Branched Oak Lake provides plenty of great roads for additional training when you are done racing.
