The Davis Bike Club Race Team has successfully relaunched the annual July 4th Criterium in 2024 after a hiatus for COVID and downtown Davis road work.
Results Summary
We had 201 registered racers with 171 of them finishing. The hot weather made it extra challenging for the riders but everyone had a great time. The racers loved the new course course and want to see it continue for 2025. Eight Davis Bike Club Race Team members participated, with some with podium places.

Kids Race
We also had a very fun Kids Race during the lunch break, the kids had a blast and did one full loop. There was even a sprint at the end for first place and Newsbeat who donated fun prizes for the kids.
Thank You To Our Sponsors
We had several downtown business sponsoring prizes for our racers. A huge thank you to:
- Ken’s Bike and Ski
- Newsbeat
- Freewheeler Bicycle Center
- Fleet Feet
- Panera graciously provided us with much appreciated water
- Steve’s Pizza for feeding the hungry workers and officials
We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to all the volunteer members (DBC and some Non DBC members) for all the hard work everyone has put in. Check this page as we get more information on the 2025 crit.
Join us next year – July 4th 2025
We have ordered cooler weather and no wind, but we’ll just have to see about that. Hope to see you all next year. For questions regarding the crit for next year, contact the race director at race-team@davisbikeclub.org
