From time to time we recieve editorial letters and comments regarding stories and other editorial letters and comments. On occasion we publish whole or part if there's a hot topic. Recently there was a lot of buzz regarding timely results for area races. The KCA published a response at their site here, and we've chosen to publish a rebuttal to the example letter we published from a local racer concerned about the issue. Click on read more below for that reply. (We will host a permanent section for your comments and editorials in the near future. ed.) |

We're very impressed at the number of rides popping up aroung the metro. Monday offers what we at localcycling.com have been calling a 'recovery' ride for several years. It's a great night for a social ride that backs off the speed and distance (provided you've done hard/long or both over the weekend). It's also a great opportunity to mentor folks new to group rides. Check out KCBike.info's listing of these rides here. With fresh locations at Epic Bike and Sport north of the river and at Family Bicycles in Waldo, you're likely to find one within riding distance of where you live. |

A number of readers have asked us about the results for the USAC Kansas Category Championships (Criterium and Road Race) held in Pittsburg, but we haven't seen 'em. We've been watching the KCA site for those and this weekend's Masters Champs. One reader comments: "Directors of the Kansas Cycling Association: Any particular reason we are one week out from the *championship* event and without results? It really doesn't take much in this day and age, technically speaking. Record, type, forward. It does take commitment, however. Clearly there is a lack of one or the other as we are, again, without results. Please remedy on behalf of the racers, observers, and community of Quality." |
