It may be a short work week, but it's long on cycling events!
Tuesday NEET Training Criteriums continue tonight through the end of the month, light permitting.
On Wednesday, have lunch with Lance! The evening marks the official start of cyclocross season with the first clinic at 5:30pm in Herman Laird Park. (Johnson Drive at Cody, 66203) The clinic is a great tool for new and seasoned racers alike.
There will be some special prizes (Race Entries, Boulevard Swag) from KCOI/Boulevard raffled for the Women's Clinic Same date, same Starting location as everyone else…we'll just ride off to another spot for our clinic after registration.
Thursday is the final NEET Gardner Time Trial. 10K of lung searing lactate threshold fun. (These are good training for cyclocrossers, too!)
Saturday is the St. Joe Team Time Trial. Online registration for this event ends Thursday, Sept 4th. Also on Saturday are Parkville's Festival of Bikes and Blues and day 1 of the Missouri Ride to Stop MS.
Sunday you can road race in St. Joe, or finish the Ride to Stop MS. You can also Ride the Route of Champions, please preregister if you can, to help with headcounts for breakfast and beer!
