Ladies Night: it’s this Tuesday, which means ladies race for free. Not just that, but the Specialized Women’s Demo Truck will be at the races with a truckload of women’s-specific bikes on hand. There will be some free food, some free Luna Bar product and of course free racing for the women; we’ve never had so much free stuff in one night, so bring some friends and take advantage of our generosity.

Schedule Change: Our Intermediate Race has grown a bit bigger than we can handle; our scoring accuracy has suffered and the cyclocross race length was a bit tricky to handle. So we’re splitting up the Intermediate Cross and Intermediate MTB into two separate races. The new schedule will look like this:

Kids 6:15pm
Beginner mtn/cross 6:30
Intermediate MTB 7:00
Intermediate Cross 7:30
A MTB/Cross 8:05

The kids race was bumped up a bit and the warm-up lap for the Beginner race will start around 6:20 or so. We hope that this schedule will make things easier on our scorers, provide a more consistent race for the cyclocross racers, and do these without significantly altering the schedule. There have also been some remarks that the final lap bell is not as loud and pronounced as it could be, and so we’ll have a visual cue to augment the cowbell, which will hopefully be soul-shakingly loud as well. We hope these changes will make for a better race for all, and if you have any questions or concerns then please let us know; we always appreciate the input.

Finally, this next week will mark the beginning of our second series of the year, so come out and get it started off right. If you get it started off poorly and bonk into oblivion, Chris from our coaching sponsor Athletic Volition will be there, so you can discuss coaching and training plans with him.

Daylight Savings Time is ending so it’ll get dark sooner, but we’ll still be racing short-track and cyclocross under the lights, so come race your bike.
