The road race to open Memorial Day weekend in Iowa had been up in the air because of construction, but it is officially on. The route will be shorter than usual, and there appears to be no P/1/2/3 race.
I always hated that finish in Burlington anyhow. The downhill sprint was famous for terrible crashes, photos of which would inevitably appear in the local newspaper the next morning.
It’s not necessarily a race that I would take a day off work to do. It’s a flat, narrow course that was very nerve-wracking the year I did. It may be better now that the 4/5 field is split up, however, and if you’re there already for the Snake, might as well double up.

I for one am DELIGHTED that there is in fact no possible way I could participate in this race!
