Pete-
thanks for posting the results. Great work on delivering great racing weather.

Was a new course record set on Sunday? It was a great ride by Mr Lyman.

Thanks to all who helped make this event possible every year. It is a fun weekend for my partner and I to get away for two days, have dinner in Truckee, and have 360 miles for boy talk and catching up on the children’s activities.

Whoever was responsible for providing the break in the weather…I salute you!

What expansion joints?

This was my first time racing something like this and I thought it was great! Thanks to the Reno Wheelmen for a well organized and executed race.

The road surface wasn’t too bad. I was more worried about all the lactic acid building up in my legs than the cracks in the road. Has anyone ridden up and down East Valley here in Minden? Now that’s a bumpy road no matter how far from the shoulder you ride.

Agreed.

It’s funny how pinning on a race number can really change your reality.

After a scouting session a couple of weeks ago, I was pretty intimidated by the road seams on A-23.

But during the race today, I barely noticed ‘em.

Let’s do what we always do and that is to ride with courtesy, respect, and safety in mind. Gaining a few seconds at the cost of endangering your fellow rider or getting yourself booted isn’t worth it.

It is tough–when you have cyclists racing in both directions it is very difficult for cars to pass if riders are in the center of the lane on both sides. So we need to be as courteous as possible.

However, I haven’t seen the cracks this year but there have certainly been sections in the past that would be considered to be hazards to cyclists and I agree that we would be within our rights to avoid them.
