First Cat 5 Criterium (Speed Week)

Welcome to Freewheel Faction! This is our very first video, and we’re kicking things off with our debut Cat 5 Criterium at Union City during USA Cycling Speed Week. I’m Matt, racing alongside my teammate Connor, as we dive headfirst into the fast-paced world of crit racing. From pre-race nerves to the chaos of the pack, this race was our first real test—and the start of our journey from Cat 5 to Cat 1. We’ll be sharing our progress, race recaps, and everything we learn along the way. If you’re into cycling, racing, or just want to follow a couple of guys chasing speed, you’re in the right place. 👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to follow our journey. More races, more lessons, and hopefully more results to come. #Cycling #Criterium #USACycling #SpeedWeek #FreewheelFaction
