Happened at a race here last here. Someone put tacks on the course even between races, not just before where it could have been swept up by diligent race volunteers. Ended up with a handful of people crashing out. Some people are nuts.

When I was at the 1994 Junior Nationals, someone had placed tacks along the road race course. Locals suspected a certain farmer who's property was along the route, but had no proof.

Sounds like residents do it to discourage all bicyclists, even when races aren't occuring.

I'd love to see a little diligent LEO work to find the repeat offending twits and place felony charges on them. Real tough to do, but a dreamers gotta dream....
