Ride it like you stole it crit
February 15, 2004
Teske schools the youngsters
By Chris Lotts
Vera remembers (to this day) when we paid for 2 full entries at Porterville crit (years ago) and they NEVER refunded the difference from paying a 2nd race...even after voicing our concerns to the promoter. She also remembers that a lot of people were miffed that year, as many racers got jammed. What's the point of this story? Crap like that NEVER happens at our race. Our racers forget to deduct their CBR license from their entry fee, we tell them about their refund, then they refuse it! Wassup wit dat? Slowly but surely, our CBR crits are mirroring El Dorado: people are having fun at our races! Evan Teske, 40+ years young, took the younger racers to school Sunday by easily winning the Elite Men's field. We don't think he'll enter another Masters event until he's 84. His dogs also took the barking contest away from April Henderson-Anderson's dogs!
Mo' money, mo' primes: CBR's MARCH CRIT: The BAR/BAT categories will have either $10 or $20 cash primes for the first ten laps of the race. Due to advertising constraints, we cannot change the purse, but we can increase the CASH in the primes. What are ya gonna do? Go for the primes, the win, or both?
HIGHLIGHTS of the Ride It Like You Stole It Bike Race:
1. 2003 CBR-BAR Series winner Mike McMahon won the 30+ field.
2. US Postal racer Richard Meeker won the 40+ event
3. Largest Elite Women field in CBR history: 29 racers!
4. Racers LOVED our world-famous CountDown Timer.
5. Bill Mock & Jim Wiznura took a record-breaking 10 minutes to post race results!
6. Mauna Loa became a CBR sponsor! Wow! Yummy!
7. Claude Isambert has the smoothest bike handling skills.
LESSONS LEARNED: the Category V/Public race did not receive their coaching clinic, and that is my fault. That will NOT happen again, and I apologize. We have listened to the Elite Women, and we're working on changing start times. Unfortunately, the March flyer is done, so any changes will take effect for April's race.
We had GREAT support: the volunteers were outstanding, the officials kept the race on time with minimum disruption, and everyone had a lot of fun. Here are the CBR leaders:
(BAR) Best All-around Racer, after 1 of 5 races
Elite Men: Evan Teske/Team Monex, 21 points
Elite Women: Suzanne Sonye/Helen's, 24 points
Masters 40+: Richard Meeker/US Postal Service, 21 points
Masters 30+: Mike McMahon/Team Velocity, 21 points
(BAT) Best All-around Team, after 1 of 5 races
Elite Men: Team Monex, 39 points
Elite Women: Bella Nova/Fuel Up, 44 points
Masters 40+: Cycles Veloce, 43 points
Masters 30+: Labor Power, 62 points
If you're still reading this, it means you're actually interested in our updates. Two more weeks until the start of El Dorado, and four more weeks until our 2nd BAR Series race, the 2nd Annual Nike Vision Crit. Annual members can DEDUCT $7 from their entry fee. For ANNUAL members, it's the same entry fee as before. We encourage people to support local racing for the local racer by buying the annual license. 100% of the fees is applied to our cash prizelist... it's being returned right back to the local racers, so support something that will make you feel good! On 02/29/04, the annual membership jumps from $25 to $30 (late fee). Don't delay, and we hope to see everyone on March 2 (El Dorado), then on March 21 (Nike Vision Crit). Have fun, train hard, stay safe! Chris Lotts-CBR (714-356-1214, VNCRacing@hotmail.com).
