Ottawa Tuesday Night Crit – Weekly Series

The Ottawa Tuesday Night Crit - Weekly Series is a local criterium series in Ottawa, Ontario, with racing on Tuesday evenings from early May through late August. It runs weekly in the evening, with registration options for both U18 and 18+ riders, serving as a regular midweek race night rather than a one-off event. The format is built around practice as much as pure results: riders can work on pack skills, cornering, speed changes, and race positioning in a friendly setting. A useful detail for newer or developing racers is that dropped riders get a chance to rejoin the group, making the series less punishing than a standard crit where losing contact usually ends the race.
