Redmond, the bicycle capital of Washington, throws a summer party every year called Redmond Derby Days, its annual bicycle race, America’s oldest. Bring the whole family to this one—there is something for everyone at this bash. Not one but two parades, The Kid’s Parade and The Grand Parade, a Funtastic Carnival, Continuous stage show entertainment, a Beer & Wine Garden, and Events called: Wet and Wild Sprinkler Garden, Hoola Hoopalooza, Jumping Jump Ropes, Bouncing Beach Balls, Inflatable Fun, Climbing Wall Challenge. And of course there are Bicycle Races galore—after all, that’s what the whole thing is about… The Redmond Derby Days Criterium! (A Criterium is a multi-lap race on a closed course, and laps are typically shorter than one mile. This style of racing has bred a unique athlete, stressing speed and bike handling.) Just round up the kids and show up.
