The Weather Gods must like Racing

Well, the forecast has changed quite significantly and it appears that the weather should be dry the rest of the day, so unless it changes again, we are on for tonight. And it should be much warmer than the past 2 weeks too!

Not Looking so Good for Tonight

Forecast looks a bit rainy for tonight, but I will post to the site by 430 pm whether the crit is a go or not.

Two Good Weeks of Racing

Although the temps were a little cool the past two weeks, we had a good turn-out for both the A and B races, with about 30-35 riders in the A race each week and about 15-20 riders in the B race each week. Hopefully warmer (and dry) days are ahead and we will have even bigger fields.

Thanks to those that have been stepping up to corner guard - and for those of you who have not yet volunteered, please make sure you get there early to help out next time!

Will post some action photos soon! :)

Ellis may also Race Tonight.

Not relevant for most of you, but A. Ellis may be a guest rider tonight.

First Practice Crit will be Tonight!

Although it is not 70 and sunny, there is no rain in the forecast for tonight, so it looks like we are all set for the first practice crit of the season tonight.

Read the reminders and crit guidelines/rules in several of the earlier posts so things go smoothly.

Crit Cancelled

It is still sprinkling on the west side, the roads are really wet, and I am worried the iffy weather means fewer volunteers and, as a result, the crit is cancelled for tonight! Bummer to cancel the first one!

Capital Brewery ride may still be going (at 5:30 pm) so that may be an option for those of you itching to get out.

Hopefully see you next week!

Final Reminders

A few final reminders as the first practice crit is scheduled to start tomorrow (May 5).

- check this site for weather cancellations (will try to post by 4:30 pm), especially since tomorrow looks like it may rain at this point

- bring exact change ($5 entry)

- you must bring your USA Cycling license the first time you register (if you do not have a license, then purchase one in advance, a 1-day or annual, on-line rather than on-site)

- remember to save your race number and bring it with you each time

- volunteer to corner guard (A racers show up by 6:15 pm at the latest)!
