The below intersection does not look that bad. But last Saturday a tragic accident happened.

Here is the ghost bike that was placed at the scene.

What is a ghost bike?

Today was the Colorado classic Koppenberg Circuit Race. I was taking pictures on the infamous climb. Its short but its steep and there was really only one line.

Boulder Cup rider Josh Johnson getting smoked

Boulder Valley Schools start next week, Labor Day is approaching and so is cyclocross season! For some this means an end to a hard summer of crit racing or a chance to "play around" with cross but for others its nearly a religion!

Some races have already published their schedules like September 12th Bear Creek SuperCross or Brecktobercross September 20th. For those who have been racing CX for years in Colorado please take special note of the start times, here are the ones for SuperCross which appear to be the same for Brecktobercross and might be the standard for the season.

Stay tuned to 303cycling or Mudandcowbells for announcements of CX Clinics or Wednesday Morning Worlds (CX group rides in Boulder). And for the dedicated CX rider check out how you can further improve your skills by creating your own portable CX barriers

What do you think about the new race start times?

I got this email today (and probably all club owners did as well). In short it states how they have received no pre-registration entries for the woman's open field at Prospect Criterium for this weekend, August 8th. The notice is that this promoter has included the woman's field over the Men's Cat 4 field that would have very likely filled up while so for 0 woman have signed up, meaning this might cost them lots of lost revenue.

Is selecting the woman's open field over the men's cat 4 field a good thing or not?

Also, is it fair to judge a turn out by the number of pre-registered riders? I can't remember the last time I pre-registered for a race

Hi!

As of today, the womens open field at the Prospect Criterium has no women signed up. Since we are the Masters State Championship race, I have to run every Masters Category with a 15 minute warm up period before each race. These categories alone take up the allowed time for a race day. I have petitioned the ACA, and am paying extra fees to be allowed extra hours of racing. With the these hours of extra racing the following categories have been chosen: Men Pro,1,2; Senior Men Cat 3; Women Open field.
