Aside from results issues that we are working to improve for Perry the Albany weekend was a great Success! We have received more positive comments than ever before. Thank you to everyone for participating, Regions Bank, the Albany CVB and all of the Volunteers! We will be posting pictures and videos later in the week. I personally have learned from some mistakes I made racing in the 3's division and will make sure they don't happen again. Rules of the road can sometimes be gray and that is why the GC will always defer to the officials for their judgment. At the same time, we pray that patrons will respect the rules and be sure to make safety of themselves and others the #1 priority - above racing.
Many of you maybe aware that USA Cycling officials will DQ anyone for "attacking" over the centerline (not the yellow - the center of the road). Simply moving up will get you relegated to the back but "Attacking" will get you DQ'd. There are times in RR when the official will go ahead of the group for time checks and other reasons - this is NOT the time to break the rules and "ATTACK" - even if you are 'legally' being blocked. It is completely legal, however, to "ATTACK" from the grass at your own risk. Please contact USA Cycling for more details to the rule.
See you in Perry!
