A Great Piece on the U.S. Open Cycling Foundation in Bike Radar!

“Outside of the bike race, the US Open Cycling Foundation is actively involved in promoting healthy living through cycling. This year, it will reach 15,000 kids through delivering a program called Cycle For Health in school during April, May and June. It works with community centers throughout Rhode Island in an effort to get the community children outside riding bikes. Furthermore, they work with corporations to encourage employees to ride to work and promote lunch-time bike riding.

RI VeloSprints Coverage in the Providence Phoenix

“There is a manic, almost frenzied countdown and they’re off, peddling as fast as they can for less than half a minute. In the end, “Warren C.” beats “Justin H.” by 4.86 seconds, which is, in this sort of competition, a decisive margin. A fine race. But the vomit buckets, to everyone’s profound disappointment, remain dry this night.”

Fastest Times from Session 7!

The data elves have been hard at it since the wee hours and we have fastest times from last night!

The times continue to tumble (without Race and Software Commissar Matt playing with the code) and there is a clear pattern of faster times in racer’s second rides of the evening…faster yet are the grudge matches, but they don’t count in the Fastest Times scoring.  So, having won the vaunted Ameriprise Jersey for last week’s time,  Donny G was beaten this week to fastest time – in a non-grudge race – by Evan M…
