This weekend features one of the core events of American style bicycle racing: a criterium. It's also a great opportunity if you're a woman. The Lansing Daze Women's Criterium has a host of events and awards for all abilities. Hard working Roger Harrison has amped up the event from last year with even more categories. A great value for experience and the experienced alike. Scroll down to the Flyers section for more details. Roger also notes that there is some construction going on in the Lansing/Leavenworth area, so allow a little extra time for travel.

Tonight (Thursday 5/1) is another scheduled session of the Gardner 10K Time Trial put on by the NEET folks. If you're getting ready for Corporate Challenge, Triathlons, Stage Races, or just want to chase down the break, this is another fundamental event. Scroll down for details.
