I did 100-lap crit once (actually on a pretty course in a small town) and it was mind-destroying to look up and see 80 laps to go.

When they did the crits near the national monuments on the oval, there were a lot of stupid accidents away from that one point where it was constricted. Lap after lap, with near constant turning, but no help from banking. Some fairly serious accidents, given the open, flat course. Curtis L. Russell Odenton, MD (USA) Just someone on two wheels...

Seems like they made a change from distance to time-based crits some years ago. 80 laps to go does sound a lot worse than two hours. Maybe. I certainly preferred a 4 hour road race to a 2 hour crit. --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA

The hundred lapper I meant was only 40 miles, with four turns. That's a lot of jumps. I like 50 mile crits on big courses way more than the 18 or 20 miles races that are too typical for me nowadays. Only did one 100K crit in my life, I think, which would have been OK except it was almost 90F and I only had two bottles. Ouch. First 50 mile crit I did had Lance Armstrong in it and he cracked and quit. I was off the front for a few laps and actually finished the thing. Yay for me.
