Oh, I really hope they bring out the Bahai TdC ride again!!!
schloe - the fixed cup side might be easier removed by Marcus - he has a special part that is made specifically for popping off fixed BB cups that are seemingly permanently fixed. It takes seconds. He helped with one of mine in a similar situation.

the bahai time trial was excellent. for whatever reason, i had a really good run that day. in general time trials are good to throw in -- at least one, though i know the math for results is a pain.

I hope one of the stages is a full blown scavenger hunt, in the tradition of the Lucky Bridgeport stages.
Also, what happened to breakfast? 2 years ago it was a given, now not so much. is it gone as a result of the price going down? or since we're starting later and later in the morning are we drifting towards lunch in a year or so and are now in a dead zone of food? i'd pay a little more for some jewel pancakes.

Hey, just wanted to mention that everyone who can get up on a Sunday morning should come out for the first race of the season. As many of the posters can attest, the TdC races are very accessible and all skill levels are welcome. It is the perfect way to get involved in alley cat racing and to stay active in the cold months, as well as meet other cyclists in the area. Entry is only $5, breakfast is usually provided, and you get a small chunk of cash if you place! I hope to see a lot of you this Sunday.
