RED HOOK CRIT
Since 2008, the annual Red Hook Crit (short for criterium) race has proven to be a highlight of the cycling calendar, the races are fast, action packed and technical. Riders compete on the closed course in separate men's and women's races, competing against each other and the course in the battle for victory. It's a high stakes battle where anything less than 100% doesn't cut it.
MEET THE TEAM
WyndyMilla has a team of professional cyclists and will be bringing two of its top riders to New York this year.
They'll be riding with precision engineered, fixed-wheel bikes with no brakes - because slowing down isn't part of the plan. Every gear change is crucial, every mile must be conquered and every hill must be scaled. Meet the team who can do just that.
