Don't Hate me because I'm a Bicyclist

Check out this anti-cyclist podcast about "The Bicycle Trail of Death" on the March 25 post. This was originally broadcast on a radio station. Scary. Thanks to Tim S. for pointing this one out.

On a happier note, I made it out for the first two segments of Half Acre's Kevin's crits. Monday was chilly and gray. Tuesday's races had a little rain, but not too bad. I had thought about racing, although I haven't done a crit in a long time and feel out of shape and out of practice. For various reasons, I ended up going to help out instead. On Monday I helped at registration. It was obvious how much it helps to have almost everyone preregistered! On Tuesday Erica and Mike had it down to an art and didn't need help. It seems to me that our first time crit promoter friends at Half Acre Cycling have done a really nice job of pulling off five races in a week! Think about it, who else but stage races and Super Week attempts to do that?





Thanks to Half Acre Cycling for being such good citizens of racing and creating an opportunity for the less experienced categories to get some race experience compressed into a short time.





If you started out by racing at Kenosha last Sunday, you could do eight (!) races in a row from last Sunday to next Sunday! And then you'd need to sleep for a week...
