Spandex was everywhere.. From Friday night until the rain fell on Sunday night. It was a wonderful weekend with lots to see.
Friday night was the sprints up 7th street from the Post office past Mass Street.
Here’s a pic of the start of one of the Crit races Sunday.
Saturday the Ride Lawrence team was on hand at the Farmer’s Market dedicating a new bike rack. Ok ok.. it faces into the farmer’s market.. but it’s still pretty cool. The racks designer Sean McCue (far left) was on hand along with the fabricator Randy Harwerth of Har-Noy Metal Fabricators (next to Sean). There’s one that looks just like it out at the Rotary Arboretum by Clinton Lake too!
Su
nday we were set up downtown by the start/finish line of the crit course. For the second year, members from the Lawrence Central Rotary were on hand staffing the Kids Zone with an inflatable obstacle course and bounce house for kids to play in, more importantly, all free of charge! This aspect of it honestly pleasantly surprised a lot of parents looking for things for their to do after the kids race.
