\nJust learned there was an accident in which a cyclist lost his life during a ride at the Anthills yesterday evening. I don’t know any of the details and I am not sure if it’s appropriate to broadcast his name at this time. Very sad news. …<\/p>\n

\ndang, the folks who run our Superdrome in Frisco TX had to cancel the rest of this summer’s Friday night racing because of lack of attendance. how disappointing, but I understand thoroughly because we’ve had total turnouts of sometimes 8 or even less in all categories. hard to keep officials around for something like that.
\ni think there is just too much competition from crits and RRs around here ….I guess
\nhoping that the Fall series goes better. …<\/p>\n
