Weekend Review - May 22 & 23 - Part Deux
More news rolling in from this past weekend's racing.
Up in Minnesota it seems that the Square Lake Road Race offered a bit more dirt than the riders cared for and there were many complaints about that. In fact the 12.1 mile loop had 36.5% dirt (4.4 miles) with some of it rather deep. All in all though, it appears that it was a good race overall.
In Michigan, the West Branch Road Race and Criterium was a big success. Saturday's road race course was 22 miles around with 1100 feet of climbing, finishing up the steep Muur van Westé Bränchewas (!) Results are now available for the road race but not yet for the criterium. More about the race can be found on the Michigan Bicycle Racing Association website.
The Saint Leon's / OSRS #8 Series Finale in the Indiana/Ohio border results are now available. Texas Roadhouse cleaned up with Greg Strock taking his second win of the year in the Pro 1/2 race and Kentucky's Colleen Cornellius getting her second season victory as well.
Lastly, from Missouri, Superhandydave leaves us with another super front/back split screen video from the O'fallun Criterium. Thanks once again Superhandydave!

I find it hard to believe that people are so scandalized because the measured percentage of dirt was 36.5 versus the advertised percentage of dirt roads at 'approximately 30%' (from the flyer). With respect to time and not distance, 'yes' you will spend more time on the dirt because your speeds are lower.
