The Aspen Cycling Festival continues tomorrow, Sunday May 19, with the Aspen Cycling Criterium. The Criterium race is held in the middle of downtown Aspen, on a .8-mile track with 10 sharp corners and speeds of up to 28 miles per hour. The racers streak around the corners as they lap the course. It's an exciting sight, so come down to watch and cheer on the riders.
