This episode is all about one of the best-attended summer sports events in the Metro East–The Edwardsville Rotary Criterium Festival presented by Busey Bank. Set in downtown Edwardsville with blocked-off streets, this event is a combination professional bike race, food and drink street festival, interactive kids race, and concert. Race Director Brian Mulhall discusses the positive impact the festival has in so many ways; SJ Morrison, race founder, talks about what inspired his vision 11 years ago to create this complex and ever-evolving mega-event. And, finally, participant Anthony Dust joins the show to talk about the race from the rider’s perspective. (recorded 6/7)
