During this time of year there are also some fantastic mid-week races to keep your legs open and race ready for the weekends.
Also, on just about every Wednesday you can race the Boulder Time Trial Series. Register online, park in north boulder and ride to the start for a warm up. You'll need it for the challenging course from Lyons back to Boulder.

Race Results
Something of note from our officials to follow up on our registration tips from the last issue:
1. Ask at registration before your race an know where results will be posted, it saves time after your race is done and you're beat.
2. Once results are posted, riders have a 15 minute on-site protest period. There are no web protests allowed unless it's a data entry mistake.
3. If you need to protest, bring your race number with you and some paper and a pen as protests must be in writing. This really helps speed up resolution process.
4. Most importantly, if you care about your result, don't forget to check them before the protest period expires!!

-We have some races coming up that do not have on-site registration AND have a tendancy to fill. If you want to race make sure to get it done for the following races:
