Racers,
Just a quick note to let you know the race flyers have been posted in the Schedule Page. Hope to see you all there!

Calling all CAT 1-2-3 Racers,

I’ve had some interest in doing an Omnium for this category for the IN Stage Race Weekend. If you are racing and want to be part of the Omnium, I will gladly do it. Not a problem. I will need 10 riders to e-mail me. I will put $200.00 in for the top 5 riders.

Attention Women racers, your start time for the Eagle Creek Fast Crit has changed. Your start time is now 10:15 a.m. Please note the change.

The Monrovia TT results will be posted later tonight. I will mail out the awards next week. Thanks for racing in the TT Series. Some fine times were posted and much progress has been made for many riders. Keep up the good work and see you in 2010!

One of the longest running stage races in Indiana has changed somewhat for 2009. Due to the Indiana State Fair running longer this year, the date and venues had to be altered slightly. The first leg of the stage race will be the Eagle Creek Park Fast Crit. Known for its lightening speeds, the Fast Crit makes an ideal venue choice. The 0.6 mile oval course provides no place to hide or rest – a track-lovers dream. Seldom do riders get a chance to consistently hit speeds in the upper 20’s, without touching the brakes, in a crit – you will at the Eagle Creek Park Fast Crit.

A new 9 KM TT course will greet the riders (except for the hand-cyclists) in the afternoon. The TT has been moved from Fall Creek Parkway to the Eagle Creek area so that participants don’t have to travel to the other side of the city. The TT course will be point A to point B and will be an easy ride/drive from the Fast Crit.

The last leg of the stage race will be comprised of the always challenging Fort Ben Road Race. This course always keeps the riders on their toes with its twists and turns through the woods and the screaming descent to the finish line. This year will be no different. We are excited about the changes and look forward to some great racing.

For more information, download the race flyer from the schedule page.

The fabled Monrovia Time Trial will be the scene of some hot TT times this Sunday. One of the best TT courses in the country, Monrovia is a fun venue to test your fitness level on. If you are able to break an hour, a very nice “sub-hour” t-shirt will be awarded to you (limited quantities – they are flying off the shelves and will soon run out…) So come out to Monrovia and lay it down!

A few other notes: We have some very nice pictures of the Eagle Creek Fast Crit. See the results page for the link. Please give proper credit if you decide to use them.  Thanks to Brian West for taking such nice photos and letting us relive that nice day. A map of the Monrovia TT course is also posted on the schedule page. The Indiana Stage Race is taking shape and the race flyer will be posted soon. A solid line-up of races.

Enjoy the short week.

Dan.

The threshold of 100 riders has not been met and thus the Mooresville Race has been canceled. We will be having the Monrovia Time Trial on Sunday, May 10th. Perhaps next year we can ride up pack splitter in decent conditions and numbers. Those who did register, I will roll over your entry fee into the Eagle Creek Race or a future event.

Thanks for signing up, Dan
