Besides the glory of victory, the winning team will have their name engraved on the prestigious Trike Challenge trophy and each member will enjoy a VIP experience at the exclusive Crit Club located in a prime viewing area at the start/finish line. There, they will enjoy a lavish buffet and beverages as they celebrate their victory.
