Perth Criteriums

I mentioned the Perth Criterium Series 2008 a few days back.

The Perth Criteriums is a four-event cycling series being held across Perth over four days.

The first event of the series gets underway at 5:55 p.m. in Joondalup tomorrow. Race two action begins at 12:30 p.m. on Riverside Drive in the city with the spectacular Swan River as its backdrop. On Sunday afternoon the action will be in Victoria Park from 2:40 with riders taking on the challenging but popular Albany Highway circuit. The final race will be help on the public holiday Monday afternoon on Oxford Street, Leederville starting at 2:55.

Perth is home to some of Australia’s most talented bike racers, many of whom will be lining up for the Perth Criteriums so I’m looking forward to seeing the racing and being part of the commentary team.

This morning on 98.5 Sonshine FM I spoke to local rider Ryan Suckling about the series. You can click on the audio player at the bottom of this post if you’d like to listen to our conversation.
