Be aware that the road is open to traffic, and if the volunteer whistles for you to stop, you must stop. If you ignore him, you will not get a place (or a beer!). RACE DURATION—Because this is such an early-season race, we have been asked about shortening the time from 45 minutes + 1 lap to 35 minutes + 1 lap. If you all agree to that change, I am okay with it. We will decide pre-race. PARKING: Bobby says the upper portion of his yard is ok to park on. Use 228 Five Points Road, Merztown, PA as the GPS. Look for the “RACE PARKING” signs. BYOW—Bring your own food and race hydration. There will be beers for the post-race. Bobby and Shelby have asked that we make our way home no later than 8:15 p.m. WHATS NEXT: Week 2 https://buff.ly/3wHzZP4 Next week, we're on the other side of the road. The blue line is ridden out to the red loops. You will race on the red loops until you hear the 1-to-go bell, at which point you will return on the blue line. We may add one lap of the Prologue to this, but that is TBD.

Criterium races, also known as crits, are high-intensity bicycle races that take place on short, closed-loop courses. And if your community hosts one, you understand the economic benefits of this type of event. Here's a rundown of the nation's largest and most successful criterium and how they impact their regions. https://lnkd.in/ev3V2kf8

Revving up for the start of race season like never before! Every year I pour my heart and soul into racing hare scrambles in the Florida Trail Riders (FTR) series. The thrill is back! A Hare Scramble is a type of off-road motorcycle race that takes place on a natural terrain course. It involves riders navigating through rough and challenging trails, often in wooded or hilly areas. The race is known for its diverse terrain, including dirt trails, rocky paths, and sometimes even creek crossings, which test the riders' skills and endurance. Riders compete to complete a certain number of laps around the course within a specified time frame. These events are known for their exciting and demanding nature. Riders need a combination of speed, endurance, and technical skill to excel in hare scrambles. The term "hare scramble" comes from the idea that, like a wild hare zigzagging through the woods, the riders must navigate a varied and unpredictable course. #RaceSeasonKickoff #FTRHareScrambles #FullThrottle

This past Saturday, I ran my second race of 2024. It was also my first race since turning 60. I moved up to the 60-64 age group. One of many benefits to aging, is every four years becoming the "youngest in my age group" classification. The race is part of the Knoxville Track Club's Winter Road Series. The 10 mile race has been a staple for East Tennesee for years. We added a five mile race to this year's event. I chose the five-mile race. And, with some reluctance. Last week was a long week, business wise. Travel and dealing with the challenges that we all deal with living the "entrepreneurial life". I really wanted to roll over and go back to sleep when my early morning alarm went off. Getting out of the house is often a challenge we all face at times with our goals to be active. The benefits are significant and for me, it was great to race but even better to catch up with friends. I am always glad I made the effort of taking that first step to get out of the house and get going. A majority of my training is done solo. My schedule is hectic, and I do a lot of late-night training. One of my goals for 2024 is to make time to run, ride or swim with friends. It does make a difference. If you are struggling with your plans to get more active in the new year, I encourage to find a partner to make the process more enjoyable. #running #runningmotivation #runner #runners #endurance #triathlete #triathlontraining #bylr #VarloSports #Varlo Inc #healthandwellness #agingwell #knoxville #ktc #nike #patagonia #T36Golf
