... I'd agree with that fer sure, Steve.

I always recommend Tilford's blog to any American bike racer. When you get some time, go read the back issues. Tilly's a living legend in American bike racing and has informed opinions on lots of bike racing topics. Always a good read.

And....Tulsa Tough is a great event. Even if you don't race, the spectating there is awesome.

Look up cry baby hill. That thing is fun to race and a pretty good time when you are done.

The Brady district crit is one of my favorites for the year.

Great article. I'm still bummed I didn't pay attention, and let my wife book us a trip to Napa Valley during TT.

I always read his blog.
Honestly? I sometimes feel disheartened to realize that I may have to race him, or Ned Overend, or anybody, that old that can still mix it up with the Pro/1/2fields, and not get dropped. It won't stop me though.

A little confused. How the heck is the speedo accurate to XX."X" Aren't they at best .5?

well you know the racing time to about a second and you know the total length to about a wheel revolution. likely the uncertainty in tyre width is the main limitation but that does not account for 0.5mph by a long shot.
