On Saturday I went and watched some of the Colorado College Criterium. I watched the Men’s Cat 3/4 race and part of the Women’s and Men’s Pro 1/2 race. We had one Pikes Peak Velo member in each of those races. I heard there were more in the Men’s Cat 4/5 race. The fields were small in the races I watched but I expected that with the Boulder Roubaix being rescheduled to the same day because of bad weather on the original date.

I hung out most of the time on the climb on the south side of the Fine Arts Center. The climb is less than a block long but it has a pretty good grade to it. I raced the same course when I was in college and that hill certainly hurt after 30 minutes of racing. I took several pictures with my auto everything point and click camera. It takes pretty good scenery pictures but action shots are tricky.
