What a great weekend to enjoy Eastern Washington's Weather and the Tour of Walla Walla.
This weekend brought 525 Bicycling racers from all over the U.S to compete in four races held between Downtown Walla Walla, and Waitsburg Washington.
I was able to be the holder during the individual time trial. It is an important job in order to get the racers to have an even start without giving anyone an advantage at the start. Having competed in many Time Trials I knew I had to do it right for the racers sake. What a workout holding all the riders prior to leaving the start. I hope everyone thought that we did out jobs well at the start.
The night critirium downtown was really cool, but was a good challenge to those who have night vision problems. The streets were full of spectators, and racers family members. It was a busy time downtown with the live music from Hot Poop and a lot of young teenagers hanging out. It was the most festive occasion that I have seen in Downtown Walla Walla in a long time.
Everyone that helped out to put on this great Race I want to thank you for your help as it wouldn't have come off as well without your help. I am glad to see that Allegro Bicycle shop owners Steve Raap, and Michael Austin put on another great race.
Local racers from Whitman College, Wheatland Wheelers, and L' Ecole had great success in all races. Congratulations to all of you!
I am looking forward to helping out at the races again next year.
