It might be raining now, but our Chief Commissaire has decided that this morning's criterium will go ahead.
The current band of showers is moving through, although wind is increasing.
Leave the deep sections at home, but know that a firm hit out, the coffee van and good chat with your fellow cyclists will warm you up!
Ride well. Ride safely.
