What an exciting finale to the USA Crits Speedweek series! This was the first year that I was able to race the Sandy Springs crit, and I really like the course which is very hilly. Here is a topocreator map and elevation profile I made using the beta version of topocreator.com (coming very soon!!!). The…

Sunny King Criterium
What an awesome event attracting many of the nation’s top crit riders right here to Alabama’s only NRC ranked race! The Sunny King criterium is awesome. The traditional break that laps the field never materialized — although there was a large break with a gap hovering between 10 an 20 seconds for a large part…

Barbers Ride to Live Circuit Race
Wow – it is not every day that you get a chance to race your bike on a spectacular speedway normally reserved for cars and motorcycles going well over 150mph! My top speed for the day was just over 40mph, but that was fast enough to make the podium of the Pro/1/2/3 race. It is…

Spain Park Hoover Cycling Festival Criterium
Can’t beat racing less than 5 miles from home! Well maybe a winning a race 5 miles from home would be better – but alas it was not to be this week. Still, it was a good race with a small but strong field. There were lots of attacks early that ended up eventually splitting…

The Saturday criterium was held later on Saturday evening under the lights. The course was an eight-corner course with a large 35-40mph downhill and a stair-step climb. I…
