This weekend took the Atlantic Conference to Doswell, Virginia, and the Virginia State Fairgrounds for races hosted by both Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Virginia. Both Saturday and Sunday were criteriums around the same loop, though with some changes to the parking lot section of the course. In addition to Saturday’s mostly flat and rectangle course, one end included a section of four quick 180-degree turns, providing more pedal scraping and occasional crashing than actual pedaling. Sunday, which was reversed, was bit more moderate, with only two 180’s in addition to the rectangle.
