Salt Lake City’s Granary District transformed into a racetrack on Saturday, hosting hundreds of bikers for the Salt Lake Criterium.
The Salt Lake Criterium is intended to be more about community than a bike circuit, an organizer said.
Despite the scorching summer heat, bikers zoomed past in a counterclockwise, multi-lap circuit down 600 West and back up 500 West — while spectators frequented businesses and cheered on the contenders. The race partnered with local businesses to ensure roads were closed for the Granary District circuit, and many of the area shops saw more patrons Saturday as spectators tried to beat the heat.— which features a hotel, skate park and recreational store — hosted a booth near the circuit. Since the store sells bikes and biking accessories, it was popular among attendees during the race.
