History at City Park

Well, it's history, but not the kind I would prefer to report. This weekend at the annual City Park Criterium, there will be no Pro 1/2 race. NO PRO 1/2 RACE! Yes indeed, for the first time that anyone can remember, perhaps the first time in the history of the great State of Colorado, perhaps the country, the fastest racers will not be invited to participate.

What has the ACA been up to? An absolute travesty at best. In place of the traditional Pro 1/2 race, City Park will host a 2/3's race, no Pros and no Cat 1's, unless they're older than 35, will be allowed to race. I absolutely cannot believe this turn of events. And in the feature position, 4PM start for the Men's 65+ and Women's 55+ 40 minute race. WHAT? Is that going to be a combined field of 6?

Here's the bet, the over and under for participants in the 4PM 65+, W's 55+ race is 10. If you want to pick 11 or higher, I'll take 10 and under. Give me a call, I'll take your money.

Blaaaagggghhhh, what a yoke mang.
