So yet another race had been canceled in the front range are of CO. This is beginning to become quite frustrating-- especially when the race was in your home town where all of your friends and family could come out for support. The Boulder crit series was totally nixed earlier in the season which was a huge bummer and multiple races have been re-scheduled for later in the season. A teammate forwarded this email around explaining that because of the National Collegiate Championships being just a month before this race that they town has canceled the following crit due to street closures and complaining residents. One of my coworkers at REI got her car towed because of the race. Supposedly there were no signs within the vicinity explaining the potential problems of getting your car towed. Wrong place wrong time but if there were no signs there definitely should have been. Still, this town needs to man up and all the "good 'ole boys" need to pack up they're Dubya bumper stickers on the back of they're gas guzzling dualie pick up trucks and go back to the conservative, narrow minded, racist shanties where they belong. Ft. Collins is neck and neck with Boulder in being a liberal cycling town and it needs to show it. In fact I like Ft. Collins much better since we leave behind all the smug people who think its trendy to shop at Whole Paycheck.
Anyway, I'm sad to see another race canceled and I know its not a perfect world where everyone is a cyclist and gives a thumbs up and an entire lane when passing on the far left shoulder- but I can dream cain't I?
