Joe is right, this is event we are lucky to have, and we really have to do everything possible to keep
it here and running. Great excitement, great racing, good bars and parties in the neighborhood.

As for Joe's photos, always really, really nice.

Thanks for sharing.

peace

This past Saturday was the Lakewood Criterium Bike Race, and it was better than last year.
Better course, better set-up, better crowd(larger), and damn good races!

Great Job by Brian and Missy Limkemann, The Chamber of Commerce, and all of the sponsors
and volunteers, it was another great day for Lakewood.

the mayor's wife is sitting on a bike that is identical to the one that was stolen from me in late 2010. it's locked was clipped in the middle of the day from the laundry room in my apartment bldg. here in lakewood. filed a police report complete with serial numbers and description but sadly i had to plunk down another five hunj on a new specialized.

be sure that i am not accusing the mayor's lovely wife of any crime here.

much like pee wee herman i look for my old bike around every corner and have yet to see one like it. til now.

i miss my old friend.

oops. Somebody fell victim to the ugly potholes/crevices at Detroit and Sloane. The city put cold patch down
on insignificant areas on (recently blacktoped) Edanola, but didn't fill the bad spots on Detroit and Sloane that were
highlighted with orange spray paint. I looked at some of those potholes and thought they looked pretty dangerous
to the riders. Some were at/near the apex of the turn and just the right size to catch a wheel.
