The annual Athens Orthopedic Clinic
        Twilight Criterium occurs in Spring. A
        criterium race is shorter in circuit on
        dedicated off-road or closed-off inner city
        streets. Cyclist teams from around the nation
        and participating countries race through the
        Athens streets. Meanwhile, there’s a block
        party where the bars and restaurants are
        bustling, and live music drifts over the streets
        that come alive with spectators cheering on
        the amazing cycling vibe.
