Oulu Criterium race

Today morning did a small bike ride to see the annual criterium race (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criterium) hosted by Oulu city and organized near downtown iat the surroundings of the Raatti stadium.

Met also some of my friends who were volunteers at the organizing committee and others that were only looking the race. Few friends also were present from yesterdays party and had a small hangover :) Discussed with friends and checked out the expensive piece of tools the pros and even some ordinary folks had.

Several starts were run and weather was quite nice, warm but cloudy and virtually no wind which is not so common here in Oulu. Not so many people watching the event, which was a shame as the criterium track was really nice for the audience to see the pace and excitement of the top racers.
