Twilight DREAM IP M xcitement to the maximum speed describes the energy level of the 1 7th annual Twilight Criterium. This event is one of the major highlights of the many activities hosted by downtown during spring quarter. The 60Krace is known for its speeds of upwards to thirty miles per hour and sixty grueling laps around the tight terrain of downtown Athens. It IS a world famous criterium that awards the richest prize purse of its kind to the winners. The prestige of the Criterium brings approximately 200 of the best cyclists from around the world to compete in the thrilling race. Chris Homer was the winner of the Criterium. The race is known for being one of the best attended in the country, and Athens being a college town with students looking for a good time helps keep the tradition going. The party began around 5:00 pm with an in-line skating race and continued as the Criterium began around twilight. During the 60 laps fans congregated outside of the many bars and restaurants that line the course. The open bottle container law is suspended for this event and all the spectators have their wishes come true for one evening; the police officers can ' t ticket them for drinking on the streets! While the view from the sidewalk is spectacular when the group of riders pass by, one can only imagine what the competitors see while going faster than the speed limit allows. The neon lights and mass groups of fans all become a colorful collage that is more vivid than a dream. j JKl-ysi Bla.d :l: xxm 14 c Twilight Criterium r
