Our on the scene in Tulsa reporter Rick East sends these items from BRAOK:
State Criterium Championships
Plans are being finalized but it looks very much like the state crit championships will be held in 2 races. The Category based championships will probably be the Owasso Trail Days Criterium on May 12. Then the Age Based championships will be the Sand Springs Palmer crits to be held on May 19. Plans are still being worked out but this looks like what will happen. The nice Oklahoma State Jerseys will be on the line at each of these races, so be ready. Also remember the Eucha Tough Road Classic is coming up on April 7.
