I have to say I am very disappointed with the # of Athletes that
turned out this year in Louisville. I was very surprised not to see
several individuals from Michigan and Ohio come out for what was a
fantastic set of Criterium Races! So much for "just wanting to
compete" eh? Not to worry, next year I think we may add a Wheelchair
Division...that should help! :)

I want to Thank Vern, Tom, Mike, Greg, Paul, and Carly for their
support of the Louisville Metro Police Foundation Crit on Saturday,
and for taking advantage of the Prize Money that paid 15 places! Not
to mention the $100 in Prizes that Mike Postel cycled off with!

July 12th, LMPF Crit Results:
1st Mike Postel
2nd Vern Achenbach
3rd Dennis Clark
4th Chad Johnson
5th Greg Queen
6th Thomas Kahler
7th Carly W.
8th Paul Erway

I might mention that in his first race, Mike Postel really impressed me!

This was the first year for the Norton Commons Crit and all I had to
do was ask if they could add HandCycles....they did. As well as $500
in Prize money that we very carefully split 4 ways!
The Norton Commons Crit was the most beautiful Bike course I have ever
Cycled, aside from the scenery of Colorado. It is a new community of
homes and shops....with the most freshly paved road I have ever seen,
and it must have been paved just for this event! Flat, Smooth, Black,
and FAST!

July 13th, Norton Commons Crit Results:
1st Mike Postel
2nd Vern Achenbach
3rd Chad Johnson
4th Greg Queen (even with a wrecked front tire)

To everyone out there that doubts that Cycling events want HandCycles
or will let us into their events. This again is proof that your
assumptions are false. The Cyclists and Sponsors want us there!
CONTACT THEM! It is sooooo easy....
AND by the way, you guys in Michigan....don't be surprised if a race
on the 2nd of August comes up with a HandCycle Division.....check
www.2wheelsports.com I am certain if you contact the 2008 Mosaic
Properties ADA Criterium. They will Add HandCycles if they can!

Peace
