This past Saturday was the Lakewood Criterium Bike Race, and it was better than last year.
Better course, better set-up, better crowd(larger), and damn good races!

Great Job by Brian and Missy Limkemann, The Chamber of Commerce, and all of the sponsors
and volunteers, it was another great day for Lakewood.
