  • Comments: It's well organized, but the two lap bike format is an accident waiting to happen. Just too many bikes with too many slow folks out on the course. The reality is for many of the later age group competitors, you'll have to pass those same slow people twice. It was borderline dangerous. It was a fun event and there were lots of volunteers and a strong field, but I don't know if I'll do it again for the reasons noted above.

  • Comments: What a great race! I had a blast and the expo, volunteers, sponsors, cheering locals, and other racers made the event the best one around! There was a little confusion leading up to the race since the final details weren't sent out until the week of the race, but what can you expect when trying to shut down one of the busiest parts of town on a perfect spring day?! The organization was fantastic, the bike course was great, traffic control was top notch, and the finish was amazing. Running down that blue carpet between the grandstands to cross the line was one of the coolest things I have done! I hope this race becomes an annual event, they can mark me down as a permanent fixture here!!!
