Great Lakes - Lakewood Criterium

saw on a local racers blog that there will be a lakewood crit on may 17th put on by spin. This should be pretty fun! I'm sure there will be tons of spectators too, since everyone in that town walks/skateboards/bikes. :thumb:

Dude, that's freaking awesome! I'll have to see what's up when I go there to pick up yet ANOTHER replacement dial for my BOA shoes.

It's been a long time since the last bike race in Lakewood! 1970something at Bonne Bell.

Is the race registration age still 21 and over?

If you were as strong as me, your Sidi's would disintegrate.


I've made up my mind: Shimano heat moldables, FTW.

Hmmm.......I'm gonna have to check into that. It's been a long, long time since I had a can of whoop *** opened up on me...

It's a race conducted on a "closed course" with laps usually less than 1 mile in length. Race distance varies by catergory and will last anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours with the newer riders riding the least amount of time. Riders will frequently chastise each other by saying things like "keep your line", "watch out", " hey WTF", and will even give free advice such as "get the F out of the way". Race intensity will go from a Sunday ride to turbo in a heartbeat, then slow back down only to go turbo and levels beyound. It is not uncommon to see visions of the Virgin Mary and/or old girlfriends above the next straight-a-way ahead.

You forgot "Slowing", "Stopping", "Car back", "Car up" and most of the times the guys trailing somewhere in the back yelling "Close that gap! Close that gap"

I should also say that the 35+ riders all attempt to make make a "new mathmetic equation" where all riders work to be near the front 1/3 of those racing, but not any closer to the front.:eek:

In that case, count me in. Look for the last place CAT 5 with long blonde hair.

The thought of racing in downtown Lakewood seems like fun. However, I'll be racing that weekend here: http://www.montour75.com/Race_info..html

Trust me, I know. Imagine my surprise when I found out I had latex allergies after I put on my body suit complete with zippered mask and ballgag.

I believe Lakewood has established day's where that attire would be acceptible and even encouraged:;);):innocent:
