The only racing this weekend is a crit in Wisconsin and a road race near Iowa.

Thus let us take a deep breath. With Superweek around the corner and eight days of local criteriums to look forward to in August, only the truly compulsive will be turning the pedals in anger this weekend. The rest of us will be spending time deep in thought, painting that bathroom or reacquainting ourselves with our loved ones. It may be September, after all, before we can come up for air again.

The site may never return to normal, but I will have a traditional Proctor wrap-up later this week.

Be fast. Be safe.
