Anyone ever do it or know any resources to help get an idea of where to start. I live in Des Moines Iowa. We recently had a major triathalon through the center of town (I'm making Des Moines sound smaller than it is). This leads me to believe the govt. can be convinced to shut down important roads. I think there are several routes that could make for great criterims or time trials. There are plenty of cycling clubs so I figured I could talk to some people there. I guess I'm looking for books etc. where I could get an idea so I can use the people who have been there as a more advanced resource. Thanks for any imput. In case no one can help y'all can use this thread to flame over BD(kidding).
