Hi,
Thank you for your recent communication regarding the details of the cycling course for this year's national championship event. I am excited and looking forward to competing in Cleveland. However, I have serious concerns regarding the finish of the 20K and 40K cycling course. The finish line appears to be less than 200 feet from an intersection. With sprint speeds at or exceeding 40mph, forcing racers to slow and turn left (or right) in approximately three seconds is a recipe for disaster. Please consider changing the finish of the course to allow a longer, safer rollout after the finish line. Safety should be paramount at a national class event like this.
Thank you for your consideration.
