LAPT and Ripon College Cycling Team are pleased to announce that the State Crit Championships will be held in Ripon this year. Those of you who raced in the 90's will remember the very cool racing venue of Ripon College. The course includes moderate hills, six corners and Ripon's Mainstreet. $5K prize list, too! Be sure to check out the hotels and restaurants in town.

Ripon is the home of Ripon College, the first college in American to offer a bicycle to incoming students who don't bring a car to campus. Ripon is also home to Rippin' Good COokies and was the site of the "Great Milk Race" back in the 80s, coordinated by none other than Tom Schuler and friends.
