The Five Spot Criteriums

http://bicycleclick.com/the-five-spot-criteriums
The The Five Spot Criteriums BikeClique was created in April 2009 and currently has 94 Members.
The Five Spot Criteriums is a Louisville area criterium series held in the spirit of weekly club crits from years past. Typically we start out with a clinic from Curtis Tolson followed by a short race. The main group rides up from Cyclers cafe to the course and racing starts after th clinic. We'll run an A and B Race. If there is time we might throw in another style of race or run another "A" race. Simple, easy and cheap.

  • The Five Spot Criteriums Sounds like the ladies from the Skirt Rides are interested in a "ladies only" Five Spot. We could add a date to the calendar if we have enough interest. We could run a clinic and A, B and C races with some in race coaching. Post up if you would be interested in this (and you're not a dude)

  • The Five Spot Criteriums Thanks to all the racers and new racers who came out tonight. I think we had about 40 total come out and about 10 take the clinic. Glad to see so many stick around to try the "B" race. Feedback is important so please post up suggestions here. We're all about making this better and better.

      9:25 PM June 15
    • Steven WebsterLarry - already sent a note to the next host team to bring at least one five gallon water cooler.

    • Larry PethickExcellent! I was going to send you a note about it earlier today, and forgot. Not sure how I was going to get you a cooler that I had...

    • Asher TaylorI'd love to, especially with the intro class for newbies! However, I'm currently recovering from a leg injury (~2 weeks 'til I can get back into serious training; plus whatever add'l time it takes to get back in shape). Is the new riders' intro class likely to be an ongoing thing?
      2:53 PM June 15
    • Steven WebsterYes, we'll have an intro class every week
