Juventus checks out the Highlandia Criterium!

The Highlands Community of Edmonton is a historical neighbourhood located on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River. This year a bit of spice was added to the annual Highlandia Music Festival and Market - with racing of the first Highlandia Criterium!

The Highlandia Crit is bound to become a favourite. It is a fast course, and the roads keep you on your toes. The festival atmosphere invigorates the peloton, and if you manage a break on the front, the cheering is wild. 

A variety of Juventus officials, riders, spectators, and volunteers enjoyed a beautiful afternoon and evening at the Highlandia Crit on Saturday. A few uninvited mosquitoes were also seen and disposed of.

Race Director Shaun Adamson and Bill impressed with the racing.
