Guest Editorial
Aug 13th, 2008 | By Fredcaster | Category: Opinion, Rides, SafetyA week-and-a-half ago, I participated in the Felt Tour de Park City, a local event that included a 170-mile USCF-sanctioned road race, and 170-, 100- and 50-mile tours of the wonderful northern Utah mountains. I originally planned to do the 170-mile tour, but my coach cautioned that this would have a negative effect on my training for the Alps. Who am I to argue with a professional coach?
I wasn’t too pleased with the planning, execution, rider/racer support or with my local newspaper’s coverage thereof. I sent an email to the race/ride organizer that went unanswered, so I sent a similar letter to the local paper. They printed it today as a guest editorial.
Give it a read and let me know what you think.
Good for the Record to print something that doesn’t paint them in the best of lights, yet is still the harsh truth.
