They did it again!!!

[James Carney]

We made a great change to Road Nationals last year by having the Club Men and Women go together in the first wave for Road Races and then we followed that up with the Varsity Men and Women racing together. Logistically, it was a major improvement for all. 

Guess what? We’re back to the old days! Now we get to have our teams out there for 10 hours again. Most teams don't have the ability to shuttle their women back and forth. Remember how much of a cluster Albuquerque was. Remember how much fun it was to take care of yourself women, figure out how to feed them, get your men lunch, then take care of them. Women got to hang out for hours after their race. Men were there five hours before theirs. 

Regression!

Check the schedule!

Notice anything else? Did I miss it? I don't see an Indivdual Time Trial listed anywhere. 

TTT is at 10 am in the morning on Friday so we can be done fast because….. Why? Just makes it more necessary to pre-ride the days before and not the day of. 

Club and Varsity Women racing the road race together, followed by Men racing together but we’re doing both Club races early on Sunday morning, then switching to Varsity. We could also talk about the distances of these events but that’s much more minor. 

Is what it is. The 5% slide continues.
