The Athens Orthopedic Clinic Athens Twilight, presented by Michelob Ultra, attracts cyclists from all over the nation and the world. The weekend also includes plenty of opportunities for everyone to get in on the action, with kids races, a 5K run, live music, an artist market and more.
As CyclingTips.com puts it,
"The streets of downtown Athens, Georgia, become a block party. Fireworks in the parking lot, bars overflowing, thousands of screaming college kids lining barriers. Oh, and there’s also a bike race happening.
This is Athens Twilight, the pinnacle of criterium racing in the United States. . . . for the racers, there’s lifelong bragging rights and a pile of cold, hard cash on the line. A victory here can set a career in motion or be the perfect ending to one. The winner’s list is who’s who of American criterium racing."
