About Trimble Racing

Trimble Racing is the organization behind the Red Hook Criterium held annually in Red Hook.  The race which combines the underground art of street racing with high level competition has become a much loved event in the neighborhood and greater cycling culture.  The event has grown internationally with races in Berlin and Milano.  Trimble Racing has a long history in cycling.  In the early 80's Trimble pioneered the first carbon fiber frames.  These bicycles revolutionized the industry, went on to win Olympic gold medals, and were ultimately banned from competition for offering to great of a performance advantage.  http://www.redhookcrit.com
