For the second consecutive summer, The Chicago Grit Cycle Brookfield Criterium will bring professional bike racing to Brookfield on Wednesday, July 24.
The all-day event is expected to draw hundreds of race fans and both amateur and professional cyclists, who will compete in multi-lap races on a course designed for tight turns and fast straightaways.
Races are scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. and conclude around 8:30 p.m., but the racecourse streets will be closed to vehicles starting at 7 a.m. on July 24. Streets will reopen as soon as possible following the final race.
The start/finish line is located in downtown Brookfield in the 3700 block of Grand Boulevard, where crowds are anticipated to create a lively atmosphere.
There will be two business/vendor expo areas: one on Brookfield Avenue immediately east of Prairie Avenue and another in the parking lot of the Linda Sokol Francis Brookfield Library at the north end of the racecourse.
Traffic restrictions will be in place around the racecourse area; attendees are encouraged to plan accordingly and consider walking or biking to watch the race. A map showing the detour route can be viewed online, along with a map of the racecourse.
