Rocktoberfest Criterium on Sunday, October 11, 2009




Come join us for the 10th annual Rocktoberfest Criterium on Sunday, October 11. This year we return to Lakeshore Drive for the first time since 2004.

This will be the last race of the 2009 LAMBRA road racing season and rumor has it that everyone will be meeting at the Kona Cafe' (7306 Lakeshore Drive between Robt. E. Lee and the lake) afterwards for a little end-of-season gathering. Please come out and support the race and celebrate another successful road season with us.
