Due to measurable amounts of rainfall in the early morning hours today, the Swanson River City Shootout is being postponed to Sunday May 20: Beginners race will go off at 12pm and Sport/Expert at 2pm. With this morning's rainfall, THOR representatives advise that riding Swanson today will cause considerable damage to these sensitive trails. And with rain in the forecast again for tonight, tomorrow is not a viable rain date. Oh, and, by the way, racing in peanut butter mud sucks big time. So go back to bed and wakeup in a few hours for a protein shake and a road ride. Beginners: At the Swanson River City Shootout on May 20, every Beginner class racer who buys a $10 one-day license will receive a $10 gift card for use at Highgear/Trek Bicycle Stores of Omaha, courtesy of the Midwest Cycling Community. Mark your calendars now! Don't miss out on the Battle Royal Marathon at Platte River State Park next Saturday, May 12. Hosted by the veteran endurance riders at CycleWorks/Mooses Tooth, this is the first SIX hour marathon in the Nebraska Lottery Psycowpath Series. Team options exist for riders to share the fun.

Featured Stories
Kent McNeill along with a few others have been busy the last month and a half. France last month and Leadville 100 this month. Kent was kind enough to regale us with his account of their adventures.
2008 E’tape Du Tour
This year was supposed to be easier. I suppose in terms of mileage and total elevation gain, it was. Our route from Pau over the Tourmalet and then to the top of Hautacam was 108 miles with 11,600 feet of climbing. The past couple of years our routes have been from 125-150 miles with 13,000 to 14,000 feet of climbing and we have ridden in extreme heat conditions. This swung us to the other end of the spectrum. Hypothermia!

"Your from Nebraska?" the gal at medical check in asked. "Yes" Steve replied. "So you’re taking the high altitude medication Diamox then?" she asked. "No" Steve replied, having never heard of it. "Oh Boy!" she said with a tone of amazement and worry. "Good Luck!"
