Those looking forward to the Downtown Crits that have been held in late June the last few years were disappointed to see the event vanish from the TXBRA calendar recently. Racing downtown then getting to watch the domestic pros go at it is a blast, and I was sorry to see it go.

Well, it turns out the race got moved to September:

The Austin International Downtown Criterium has officially changed its date to September 5, 2009 due to scheduling conflicts with the City of Austin and will run in conjunction with the Keep Austin Weird festival.

Looking like there is a Tour of Austin scheduled that weekend as well, but no details yet. Now you can schedule your training to peak (or just show up last minute like me.) More info on the Crits here.
